> I don't even think about hardware compatibility. It just disappears, which is nice.

Only partially true. Linux supports almost all devices, but every now and then some companies refuse to release drivers, so the community resorts to reverse engineering of Windows drivers, and here's where the magic happens: the official Windows drivers are closed, while Linux ones are open, so the day that manufacturer decides to stop supporting Windows version X, or product X because they want to sell product Y, then it doesn't work anymore under Windows, but it will continue under Linux.
As for now, there's a fairly big number of peripherals that aren't supported by Windows anymore but whose drivers are still actively developed and improved under Linux. Some hardware, given enough time, is being supported better under Linux than Windows; having Open Source device drivers can make a huge difference.
And this is why genetic diversity is a good thing.

None of those are comparable.

* you can easily get a non-covid passport to leave the country
* you need a driver's license to prove skill
* it's illegal to enter a country illegally. Working without a visa isn't an issue because you're not allowed there to begin with.

But with covid, we've removed fundamental rights. Driving is not a right. Leaving your country and working (in your country) are rights... but not if you're a skeptic.

But about your examples, these things are now illegal but have never been:

* Australia doesn't allow you to leave the country even if you have a passport.

* In Romania you're not allowed to go outside without a mask and you're not allowed to go outside at night AT ALL if you're not vaccinated.

Even worse:

* France debated removing voting rights for non vaccinated people.

hehe. i remember a thing posted about python-on-guile, a rather ambitious project implementing python by compiling it to guile sheme.

The scheme code it produces is pretty awful. Not because it is bad, but because python is extremely unidiomatic scheme, and if you want to keep python semantics thay is where you have to go.

And despite being a one man job, despite being run on a far-from-the-fastest scheme, despite giving the optimizer any chance to do the regular optimizations it was about 1.5x times faster than cpython.

It was in numerical code, so beating cpython is maybe not very hard. I found it funny nontheless.
I have worked in academia. I can't think of a single prof like that in my department. They exist, but that's not why people choose to spend decades of their life in poor paying jobs.
Not saying it's exactly the same thing, as I don't think a video overlay was involved, but I know someone that got their PhD in this area in the 1970s and had a long career working for a U.S. military contractor doing this. The U.S. military has a significant interest in acoustic beamforming, both in the air and underwater, for obvious reasons.

Honesty, it's probably everything you listed. Also, if you were on vacation, reduced stress, sun exposure, movement, etc. would contribute too.

I looked into the negative ion thing a few years ago, and there does appear to be something to it. It seems it can have a positive impact on the lungs, which actually handle more than just breathing. Serotonin is inactivated in the lungs, so in theory negative ions could help reduce circulating serotonin, which could have a mood boosting effect. This is of course if you buy into the argument that serotonin is not so much the happy chemical but the chemical of stress [1].

Try doing that with NetSuite's WSDL in any non-Microsoft language and get back to me.

To do it in Java you need a custom-patched obsolete version of Apache Axis which you must compile and run under Java 6, and you must pass a very specific set of options to Axis when you run it. If you can manage all that, it does work.

The available SOAP libraries for Python are, AFAIK, not capable of ingesting the WSDL at all without crashing, though perhaps it would work if you had more than 16GB of RAM.

I think this articles attributes intent and wisdom where it is not due and as such should be at best considered a romanticization of their culture.

Even tough it seems they understand the choice they are making regarding some technology and even tough in many case with hindsight it appears that they made some judicious choices for their society wellbeing, I argue they do not have the tools to make those choices in an unbiased manner as those tought experiments are also technological byproducts.

Their stance regarding modern medicine, tolerating it when someone is truly ill, seems particularly hypocritical if not disingenuous.

Facebook and instagram are social phase locked loops. Open a new instagram account, search for content that you like, like them, then what how it shove more/similar stuff into your feed.

Now pivot to a different subject, only like that, and watch how your feed moves to that subject more.

its not really rocket science, or indeed anything overly complex.
I only use wired headphones. Bluetooth = PITA. Wired earbuds are like $1 for crappy ones, which are good enough for my purposes. I also have a bigger set of over-the-ear headphones from back before wireless was a thing, and those work fine in all my stuff too. Bluetooth is sort of like USB, a basically sane and simple idea that got committee-enhanced to the point of permanent brokenness.

This is part of a larger problem with a lack of regulations on high-current accessories.

> - Make all the fonts equal in height regardless of font point.

I like the current scheme which keeps the line height or px equal I'm guessing. So this should be a toggle-able option.

Another feature request: It'd be nice to compare the overall width of each font in terms of having 80 or 100 or 120 character limits on width. I'm always wondering what font is the best for viewing two files side-by-side on a 1280x800 display.
If the US drops Israel, it paves the way for economic sanctions against the country for their dealings of Palestinians. This is why they got really triggered over BDS. They cannot be swayed militarily or via protest but economic is a whole different ballgame.

A lot of European/Asian countries would like to distance themselves from Israel but cannot due to US influence. Furthermore losing the US support loosens their investments into the country and siding with China or Russia would cut a lot of economic ties to the US for sure.

>But this is lala-land thinking. As long as the United States remains on the UN Security Council (which is equivalent to saying as long as the UN continues to exist in any practical form), both Taiwan and Israel will remain our client states.

Thats my point, if US leadership decides that Israel is no longer worth the liability, then that entails allowing the UN and its member states to start putting real pressure on Israel. Again, you might think this is lala-land but we are seeing small changes starting to happen as the internet has helped to expose Israel and act as a counterbalance to mainstream talking points.

With Millennials and Gen-Z starting to come into power we are seeing even more pushback. I don't realistically see meaningful reform until Boomers are pushed out. While all this is happening in the West, Israel has made a turn towards hard right wing and I feel this will be a strategic error long term as the pendulum is swinging back to hard left in the western countries.

> I wanted to be able to use asynchronous programming because for the type of work I do (a lot of making APIs that talk to other services with very little CPU work) it’s hard to get much more performant.

Presumably the author of Turtl hit (or predicted) a scaling bottleneck with synchronous CL? Does CL not perform very well with tons of threads doing synchronous i/o (compared to other languages)?

I also don't see a lot of upsides here for CL. The pros given are:

* You can modify code while it's running so it's useful for debugging. Is this so much more useful to warrant switching languages from a language where I just re-run my whole unit test after modifying the implementation? They tend to be imperceptibly quick.

* It's elegant, fast, and stable. Compared to NodeJS I guess I'm willing to just accept these :P
How well can copilot write unit tests? This seems like an area where it could be really useful and actually improve software development practices.
> Any idea that technology is an unmitigated good begins to be questioned.

I think that's where we as the more "common" society may have gone off course: no technology (chair, toothbrush, etc to be cheeky/comprehensive on my use of the word technology) lives in a world where it's an absolutely perfect good. Anything can be abused, and when we've though about adjusting or rethinking big internet-based technologies, including social media services, it seems we're not putting enough responsibility on the operators of these services.

To me, that _doesn't_ mean we expect them to be perfect either with the ability to be responsible actors, but there needs to be some agreed upon standards that we can evaluate performance of their ability to act responsibly. It can just be left up to them, which is currently the state at a high-level.
I know a guy who runs a pretty neat old school forum for us. I think he sells the service if you wanna have a look.

And pretty soon Linkedin will also be charging 20%+ fees for freelancers, similar to Upwork/Fiverr, and like what Apple and Google do with their app stores.

This would be in line with Microsoft's DNA to focus on merging Linkedin with their other business tools, like Office365, Teams, etc, to create an additional walled-garden SaaS product. Which, following the Microsoft way, means Linkedin will probably get even more clunky and frustrating to use in due time.
I definitely agree that USB-C makes a great connector for workstation-type docking situations, if you're getting to pick all the hardware for that purpose (which is what I've done, too).

> USB-C to HDMI for video, also works for my iPad so it serves two purposes.

I get why they didn't do it at first (lower-end models exist in part to use up parts from previous higher-end models, so you can't just change them all on day one) but it's crazy to me that they're still shipping iOS devices of any kind with Lightning ports. The dongle thing would have been less annoying if I could at least use the same dongles on all my (new) Apple devices, iOS and MacOS alike. As it is, only my 4th-gen iPad Pro has it. [edit] And man, is it so frustrating that they've almost achieved a situation where you can travel with one brick and one cable to provide power for your laptop and phone and a tablet... but no, they kept putting out new Lightning devices for years.
I have a colleague who constantly talks about not having a cell phone and how freeing it is, but on the other hand, he's always asking someone to look something up, asks for someone to navigate him to where we're going for lunch, asks to borrow a phone to call his wife, etc. It really looks like this guy would be happier with a phone.

Are phones unnecessary? Maybe, maybe not, but IMO, the way to a happier life isn't to ignore things, but to find a balance (or develop the self-discipline) to use something like a cell phone in a way where it can improve your life.
Writing a slightly abstracted library to handle populating a list isn't necessarily "fixing" something. It might be, for sure, but is going to be very use case dependent, and there are a lot of instances where it's better to have 5, 10, or yes even 15-20+ nearly-identical lines and be done in a minute or two (or 5 seconds with Copilot IME) than spend half a day tweaking test coverage on your one-off library.
It's criminalized but cops don't enforce these laws, because the DA isn't going to prosecute a homeless person for these laws. Police cite them and release them and then you get stories like this (1) where people might get arrested and released for separate crimes three times in one day. I can find dozens and dozens of stories like this, some more tragic like the final crime of the day being a murder of an innocent victim.

Are these policies helping these people get their lives back on track? I'd say its clearly doing the exact opposite. By offering no consequence to bad behavior, bad behavior continues. If this person was arrested and taken into custody vs released, they'd at least be put into a controlled environment where they would be fed and sheltered and have their medical needs attended to, versus let out onto the street with no direction where they end up right back where they started.

There are costs to the public for sheltering and treating addicted and mentally unwell, certainly, but I'd argue the costs to the public of the status quo are much higher if you were to quantify them. All the petty crime, the emotional toll on innocent people victimized, the price of a life when innocent people are murdered by psychotic people on methamphetamine, the price of ER bills passed on to everyone from someone coming far too late on deaths door with zero insurance, versus the much cheaper price on preventative care that would prevent these situations in the first place, is not a cheap price. But by continuing this status quo this is the price we all bear.

> You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text?

I don't spend any time squinting... And personally the bright colors shown in the example are harder on my eyes than the shades of gray I've selected in my terminal emulator.

I also work with a large number of systems, and prefer to work from muscle memory with the tooling that is installed by default 100% of the time.

Part of me wishes projects like this would just write patches for the thing they are trying to replace. There is no reason ls couldn't output emoji file types, just patch it in ls and make it a flag people can alias, like --color=auto.

1) Cleary the policy is massively successful and the trends are pointing towards it being solved in the next few years. I don’t read Finnish so I can’t provide a better source, but you could probably find one looking online if you don’t like the Guardian

2) Low population density seems like something that would make solving homelessness harder, not easier, as you seem to suggest. I don’t see how ethnic homogeneity has anything to do with this but I’d be interested in hearing why you think it does. I agree that a strong social safety net helps a lot with this problem and we need it in the US also. Your assertion that a smaller population makes the problem easier doesn’t make sense. Less housing needs to be built but the Finnish government also has much fewer resources than the US.

If I want to throw an exception if an object is null or undefined, Co-pilot will do the if and the exception throw using the right error class, and a more meaningful error message that what I usually came up with.

If want to map some random technical data table to something useful in my programming language, I can copy paste the data from the documentation in pdf or html into a comment block, give an example, and co-pilot will write everything in the format I want.

If I want to slightly refactor some code, I can do it once or twice and co-pilot can help me a lot to refactor the remaining.

If I want to have a quick http server in nodejs, I don't have to Google anything.

> For people who are not from the region but are criticizing poaching...maybe you should make sure your own house is clean before throwing stones at others. How many people critiquing this have industrial animal farms in their country, for example?

While I somewhat understand the sentiment, this is obviously a completely impractical attitude.

If you follow this logic nothing is ever going to change, because let's face it, nobody is perfect. We're all human.

I'm not a meat eater, but I am very happy that meat-eaters critique poaching. This is a win, as it can only lead to more awareness of how we treat animals. Maybe it will make some more people give up meat.
>the gravitas house Atreides' arrival seemed to have

I feel they should have had about two orders of magnitude more than that, they're the rulers from the stars, appointed by the emperor, they rule multiple worlds and have interstellar ships, and are some of the most important people in the whole Empire.

This was my biggest disappointment with the movie - they rule many worlds, but it doesn't feel that way from how they're treated. They don't vet even their closest people (like, for real, you don't know your personal doc has his family held hostage by your enemy?). Some mid-level businessmen in Russia probably have better security setup than the House of Atreides; and their posse is more fitting for some aging Hollywood actor. Seriously, they just go move to the new planet, no planetary patrols, border guards, space legions, no nothing - really cavalier about the whole thing, all while fully expecting their rivals to attack. No wonder they got caught with their pants down basically.
Inflation doesn't just negatively affect holders of the currency.

It also negatively affects earners of the currency.

When your salary is constantly getting devalued, employers effectively get to constantly cut your salary while saying with straight face that they haven't done anything.

Now, everyone on this forum is well educated and valuable enough to be able to regularly negotiate salary increases. It's poor and uneducated people who get most taken advantaged by it.

Just look at how minimum wage is a never ending fight.

Inflation gives employers and the holders of capital the high ground fighting to maintain the status quo of wages and forces the poor and desperate to take time out of their personal lives to fight for more pay.
