Do you have a source for any of this? On the face of it, this is outrageous fear-mongering.
> So you mean they're paper billionaires by "owning the means of production" Yeah. I know. :)

I don't know how you could misread this badly. A paper billionaire means that they don't have billions in the bank; it's just the sale price of the last share that was traded in their company multiplied by the number of shares they own. It's not real, and any attempt to confiscate shares will not result in real money being given to anyone else. Shares are only worth real money when they're sold, and no one will buy shares in a confiscation world.
The only way I've been able to make sense of Mozilla over the last decade is to figure they've been taken over by several interests that don't align with a bright future for the browser, for the company/foundation, or the needs of users. There seems to be some kind of slow-motion many-party cannibalism underway.
that's really sad

It's a term used in fashion to describe a given collection's theme, expressed in one or more outfits comprised of one or more pieces of clothing, accessories, and makeup.

I can't say whether that's widely understood or not, but I am familiar with it, so fyi for others.
That works if you are saying it to yourself in front of a mirror, perhaps. If there are other people listening in, it will take another five minutes just to wake them all up.
Teaching Data Visualization with Mini-Projects
Hi. I don't know why many people here have focus on things which can be easily configured in mentioned environments.

All VUE palettes are exactly the same as CDE palettes, and can be imported into CDE either system palettes directory, or in user's ~/dt one. The same is with NsCDE.

For font, you probably have to spend some time to figure out how to change it in CDE, but in NsCDE you can use any font available on your Unix/Linux system.

That said, you can make CDE look dark, light, serious, funky, whatever.

As someone rightly commented in this thread below: usability of XDG standards, integration with the system and various widgets ... this is the topic, not the theme you can change with a few clicks or 1-2 hours of figuring out and editing.
They collect the organs from people who have just died, such as in car crashes. In the paperwork for getting a California driver license, you check a box saying whether you are willing to be an organ donor. If you check yes and you are later killed in a crash, they immediately bring your remains to a hospital that is always awaiting such deliveries, and a transplant operation gets going right away.

Motorcycles are sometimes called "donorcycles" because of the high likelihood that any given crash will be fatal, and that the rider is young and healthy and thus a highly desirable source of transplant material.
Why not? They are insured and need to function. A random selection of assertiveness can keep the humans from challenging the cars too much.
Yeah, nope. 'smart' roads mean wasting billions on sensors that would become outdated soon after being installed and banning non-'smart' users is political suicide impossible even in China. Also, do animals, pedestrians and cyclists need to wear a transponder to avoid getting squashed like a bug?

If big crypto-mining syndacates start using small scale nuclear (as some have shown interest in doing) to be carbon neutral, they could be on the vangaurd of proving out the technology and be a net positive in the medium to long term.

They really want low, consistent prices for electricity. Hydro gives them that but nuclear could also. Solar and wind do not.
I've worked for three legal tech companies over the past few years, and my sense is that there is a swell of lawyers moving away from paper and MS Office and onto both desktop (PC Law, for example) and SaaS (Clio) infrastructures. If you're interested in moving into that space as a provider, be aware that the competition is stiff, AI/ML is finally starting to make inroads in both stand-alone products and as add-ons to existing ones, and while there are a few SaaS offerings that are highly generalized to work with all types of practices, there are at least as many that are designed for a specific type of law, and even only within a specific political region (like a province or state).

There's still a lot of room, but there's a lot of competition.
My mistake I thought you supported the person that I originally responded to. Is that why they had kibbutz? I know Israel was more communist at the beginning and it even worked for a while, but they ended it. I remember Milton Friedman talking about how he liked Likud in the 60s.
A little off-topic, but why does the CEO even need to say goodbye? I'm not really concerned with listening the words of most CEOs of companies I work at. It's just another job at the company, albeit, probably one with a bit too much power and influence.
I wonder if in the book the author explores the relationship between prostate testing and breast cancer testing. I can (vaguely) remember when the big push for more and more regular of the latter variety---with similar emotional considerations---started, and also when the FDA (?) reduced the amount of testing after a given age (because it empirically did not lead to better outcomes) and caused a significant furor.
I still have one of those! Yes, an artifact of the Ford administration.

> I get it, not all are morning people

This is why I prefer standups to be right before lunch (back when you'd have lunch with your coworkers). People are awake and have a reason to not want things to drag on.

Of course, when one of your coworkers is on the west coast (and the rest are on the east coast), it's not lunch time for everyone, but it still tends to go quicker than if the meeting was an hour earlier.
It's funny to see these web things, that are in the end a "bad" reinvention of what a Lisp programmer would do with macros, but without anything special. Instead of having macros, they just reinvent the wheel again and again...

Nowadays JS is compiled... what a joke. I understand why they do it, the result with a JS transplitter is just better for everyone, but why on earth do they not use macros? Maybe in 20 years macros will be the thing, like filter/map has been in the last 10 years... who knows.
I think for a lot of startups this is mostly not true at all, and that you can get a pretty long way without doing SOC2. I think for most startups there's basically no sales value to 27001 at all, and I would be wary of anyone giving advice suggesting anyone should do a 27001 preemptively, rather than to close a 7 figure pilot or something where the deal will pay for the cert drama.
This basically sounds like the way designers talk about a lot of things the rest of the world considers small stuff.
This is quite a flippant response. These requirements are being put in place against (some) users' will. Simple changing email providers isn't exactly easy and maybe they need to access that account. Maybe Google should allow users to turn this off?
Author here, I'm just showing how I did it. It took a few minutes to do it for myself - figured it would be worth the 15 minutes or so it'd take to write it down. Just sharing my process, there's nothing too serious about this post.

I've happened to have written a lot of C, but some areas (like this one) I'm not as confident in. This way of casting, and working with types is very poor syntax in my opinion (I mean below in this thread you have people arguing about the spiral rule and such, it's obviously a common confusion).

Zig's way of expressing types and pointers is far superior, these transformations I made were done quickly and I didn't feel like there was any ambiguity or confusion in anything. Just a series of simple reductions, there are no "tricks" or easy mistakes to make in the code. It feels like a trivial proof.

Obviously I am biased, this was posted to zig.news. I thought it was a neat showcase of translate-c, and how zig does some of these things nicer. I'm not telling everyone that they should do what I did, but this works for me and I'm happy to share.

I remember long ago when Firefox (actually maybe it was chrome) added some theming ability and I went into gimp and crafted my own theme out of gradients and some photos. It was extraordinarily ugly (I was determined to use every single colour) however it was fun to make and it was mine.

The article talks a lot about customisation, but you get six times three choices, which is barely 4 bits, to express yourself. I feel like the description does not really line up with the implementation.
You have no idea how many neurodiverse and chronically ill people in your company are trying to pass for normal.

Our fixation on “normal” makes people resist getting help that would make their lives easier and possibly make it easier for them to be “out”.

You have no idea what your coworkers are struggling with. I found out one had stage 4 cancer by asking why it was taking him so long to fix a problem. I’ve had exactly one coworker in >20 years who was open about being on the autism spectrum, and people were weird about it.

Nobody wants to be defined by these things so they don’t bring them up.
I think this is basically the opposite of the correct answer. If you do certification too early, you'll be pulled into pointless engineering projects that will likely have a TCO far larger than the certification itself. If you wait to do SOC2 until after you have a security team, you can avoid a lot of this work.

It doesn't help that SOC2 auditors are basically wrong about a lot of stuff, so that if you're getting certified before you have a sane security practice in place, your security engineering will get dragged into weird, unproductive places.
As a Massachusetts driver I think it would be great to get as many of these on the road because it would be free flowing traffic for me without having to deal with people being pissed off.

All the things I don't do because a human is driving I could start doing.

Drive all the way to the end of a line of cars taking an exit ramp and just cut it. The waymo car will always yield. Same goes for zipper traffic, just go for it, waymo will back off. Could probably also steal a parking spot from a waymo vehicle...

Really? I think it's pretty clear that colorways are just a feature intended to address the whole body experience of what it means to be a person.
An Unexpected Victory: Container Stacking at the Port of Long Beach
I can just about guarantee it's a less-well-known term than "theme", as far as theme's usage to signify changing or customizing the colors of software. As in, way more people who aren't nerds will see "theme" and know what it means as it relates to software, than will see "colorways" and even have any point of reference for its meaning to maybe figure out the connection. Probably more people know what "Pantone" means, than "colorways". It's that obscure and jargony.

I started a job in Fresno in 2013, driving up from LA on Sunday and back down on Friday.

Bluetooth had started to become standard in all cars, and as I was working on a train project, the idea occurred that if we could link all the freeway cars in series, and treat it as one long train, then I would essentially just have to steer, and we all would avoid brake-waves.

One car only needs to be able to talk to the one car in front of and the one car behind itself.

This got me wondering: most CNCs and 3D printers use switches for calibration, plus stepper motors for positioning.

Has anyone tried to use cameras or a Valve Lighthouse (0.3mm precision), maybe with accelerometers and encoders, for tracking? That would allow the use of cheaper, faster, torquier, more efficient DC motors, as well as release the accuracy constraints for a lot of parts (depending on which part is being tracked).

The goal would be to trade hardware complexity and price for software complexity, since it's easier to re-purpose software (and something like lighthouse base stations has multiple uses, so the price could be shared between projects).

I think this is the single most important factor to my happiness at any given company. The question is how to deduce this before being hired (ideally even before interviewing!)?

For early stage startups, it is invariably "none at all": You build it you run it. But that's doing two jobs, so you better be good at running it, and ideally you use dead simple technologies (none of this "k8s cluster-per-environment for a team of 2" business).

For very large companies, this may be public information. Do we know for sure Netflix has "Option A" (good team)? We expect Google to have Option A, but maybe with red tape galore (see yesterday's video).

But how about mid size companies? I have worked places with "Option B" infra teams. It was miserable, and I didn't last. Putting aside the question of how anyone puts up with that for long, how do we figure out who these companies are? What are the warning signs? Is it a situation worth fixing (maybe for a staff engineer, probably not for a mid level; as product engineers/outsiders, not infra engineers)?

Here's another new chapter to software development.
"[Footnote: We have tried to avoid paragraph-length footnotes in this book, but X has defeated us by switching the meaning of client and server. In all other client/server relationships, the server is the remote machine that runs the application (i.e., the server provides services, such as database service or computational service). For some perverse reason that’s better left to the imagination, X insists on calling the program running on the remote machine “the client.” This program displays its windows on the “window server.” We’re going to follow X terminology when discussing graphical client/servers. So when you see “client” think “the remote machine where the application is running,” and when you see “Server” think “the local machine that displays output and accepts user input.”]"

Still having problems with the difference between a client and a server, eh?

But really, I'm glad that they're actually doing it instead of talking about doing it and spending all of their time musing about _what if_ they did this other thing instead. This looks great.
