It's less about harming yourself and more about harming your phone. This is your personal emergency lifeline device. It cannot go down. I know they do, but my point is that everything about the software experience should tend towards 100% uptime. This is key. It's more important than almost any other aspect of the device. It's way more important on mobile than it is on a desktop.

If your desktop locks up, you can hit reboot and make a tea, or go chat to your boss.

If your mobile locks up, you might stay buried in that avalanche longer than is healthy.
I'm all for cutting back on police budgets. Many police departments and justice systems seem to have turned into a self serving machine where self preservation and growth is its primary objective. I think defund was originally along those lines (cut back) but got propagandized into "abolish" by said self servicing agencies. The police budget in my medium sized city is $450 million a year.

I think ending qualified immunity would go a long way in keeping police power in check; they seem to have gone rogue in many municipalities today over the last 30 years or so. They seem more like an occupying army than a police force; something you should steer clear of because you can't predict what they will do, and they suffer few repercussions for their bad actions.

I generally don't buy into theories that it was by design, i.e. a conspiracy to distract us.

Instead, it's a result of market forces (the attention industry) and the powerful (oligarchs & SIGs) gradually nudging things in a direction that works better for them. Coupled with virtually zero accountability to the American people.
I'm in the Cybersecurity, Information Security Track. My undergrad was Business Administration. It's been a struggle trying to learn things as I go but so far no issues. I personally feel the MS in CS would be more valuable, but I never thought I would have been accepted into the program. I was accepted into the first semester of the MS in Cyber MS. If I had known that I would be successful, I would have applied to the CS degree years ago.
> and you'd be expected to take said employer to court

Which, as you seem to concur, makes it hard for low-wage workers to fight against wage theft.

> Theft, on the other hand, is inherently off-the-record and fraudulent.

The Wikipedia entry for wage theft links to https://www.npr.org/2013/04/10/176677299/construction-boomin... with an example of an employer not paying $1,200 in wages until the employee went to the Texas Workforce Commission.

Why should theft of $1,200 cash be a criminal act, while theft of $1,200 worth of services is not?

I don't see how this isn't fraudulent. There's no right to refuse after you've already done the work. And the employee must have originally arranged the work off-the-record because you don't tell the government you had an employee you paid $0.

The Wikipedia article points to other types of wage theft, like employee misclassification, which seems very much like either forging documents or illegal employment.

> I'd expect someone to see jail time

And if they don't, what do you expect to happen?

Because wage theft is rarely punished at all, much less resulting in jail time.

> legal action is expected (in the US) to be funded by the participants

In civil law, yes. Not criminal law.

Why is wage theft not part of criminal law (excepting a few jurisdictions), even for those cases where the employer is doing things off-the-record, fraudulently, and the employee has no right to refuse?

Even within civil law, why is the civil liability to employer so low? There's less need to pool resources if wage theft had treble damages.
to my own way of thinking, the post-industrial world has always had internal efforts to prop-up the prices of mass produced goods, to repay the capital used to build factories. I think this is known but not often acknowledged in public.

A few years ago I bought a SnapScan ix500. It's a high-speed, autofeed scanner. Whenever I have a stack of important documents, or ordinary bills, I put the stack in the scanner, push the button, and they are scanned as a PDF.

I then move each scanned document into an appropriate folder. I have folders for bills, cars, instruction manuals, mortgages, receipts, taxes, ect. The folders are backed up on Google Drive, but I could also use Dropbox, Onedrive, iCloud, a NAS, USB key, ect.

If you're extremely lazy, there is some OCR and AI to try and infer filenames and make them searchable. In theory, you could just scan everything into a single folder and search it. (But I don't trust it.)

(I originally bought the scanner to scan old photos. Now I'm the goto guy in my family whenever anyone has a stack of photos they need scanned.)

> Rewriting from Ruby to Go, some benchmarks for calculating long streaks showed going from ~5 sec to ~0.04 sec [2].

This is why sometimes it's worth looking for obscure methods in the core or standard library and use them instead of writing Ruby code, especially when iterating on Enumerables. Basically it's rewriting Ruby in C.

Entry level example: minmax_by [1] which does the obvious thing but it's not obvious that every Ruby developer knows about it (disclaimer: I went to the docs and looked for something with a fun name.)

Perhaps The Beverly Hillbillies is not the most reliable source for business model information.
Entirely the other way around. Price rises beaten by wage increases is actual economic inflation: 'true inflation'.

Price rises without wage increases is a redistribution either away from wages towards profit, or more likely towards those workers in demand and away from those that are not. Or 'semi-inflation' as it is known.

And playing around with interest rates will affect neither issue, because, as it should be clear after more than a decade, interest rates aren't actually that effective a policy tool.

The economic rebalancing has to play out so that the new normal can re-establish.
Which is why I accounted for that scenario. Breaking the law is applicable post-school, "cheating" outside of illegality is just thinking outside the box.

EDIT: I stand corrected. I should have run the code instead of mentally executing it.

One issue I did find when I ran it. The shebang should be:

Quite nice but I wonder why the scene for this kind of tools is stuck in the Spreadsheets and pipes interface. Definitely powerful, Excel itself is an amazing tool, having an "Excel" that can fetch data is 10X more powerful as we see with Google Docs or other products too.

However, using these still feels wrong for me. It seems to be simplifying some stuff but can get very complex quickly and hard to debug when you want to do something more involved. At that point, writing code gets much easier than managing ever expanding complexity of the No-Code solutions.

IMHO someone some day will crack it and programming for data processing will become a visual endeavour.

That's slimy, anti-intellectual reasoning. The fact that an opinion is unpopular with the mob does not imply that it is wrong.

The problem I have with targeting "quality of life" crime is often synonymous with extracting revenue and catering to the morals of the crowd that has the spare fucks to give about that sort of thing.

The cops where I live are very reasonable. They don't have the spare resources to waste their time handing out tickets for drinking on your porch or investigating other the victimless stuff. That said, the letter of the law is absolutely not consistent with the way people live in all but the wealthiest neighborhoods of my city.

I expect it was disabled so that the P&E cores have the same ISA support and threads can be moved freely between them. A large portion of people, especially at launch, would be running on a scheduler which isn't optimized for ADL which would be a disaster. Also complicated to market and explain: "supports AVX512 but only on windows 11." This way they don't have to characterize the AVX512 units and it makes binning easier.

A shame because the ADL AVX512 units are much more efficient.

Microsoft Surface Laptop SE
My ex sorted all my documents for me, and the system works pretty well! It's an Ikea storage box (~14"x14"? they have a million of em), and she added these green file folder separators with little metal tabs on the ends, that hang on the edges of the box. Manila folders sit cradled inside the green separators. The manila folders have tabs for a label on top, and I'll put a category and year on the label. All I have to do is take out the box and all the labels are on top, so I can very quickly just see "Taxes" folders and look for the "Taxes 2019" folder.

When I move again I may digitize them by setting up a 'jig' using a piece of acrylic or glass from Home depot to flatten the pages so I can photograph them. Once that's done, I just keep a folder on my computer called "Documents" that gets copied to the cloud or wherever. Same basic filing system as the paper documents. One copy in the cloud and one on my computer, and every few years I make some kind of offline backup that I then forget about for years.

I actually like that they do this and let me use the UI I know and that will definitely work. 99% your video playback UX is not as good and you mostly want to take over full-screen so you can prevent the user from doing things (you may fall in the 1%, but I’m generalizing so apologies if you’re one of the few exceptions). It’s annoying on the iPad when sites build half-cocked full-screen UIs with buggy custom controls.
Not my experience. Plenty of codebases have variables in local language in France Germany and Sweden (where I have experience).

I actually have encountered a lot of problem with English codebases in those countries as they often try to translate regional concepts that are not directly translatable. This is particularly annoying when it comes to administrative stuff where one English word can refer to different local concepts (ex: geographical divisions of the territory) and translations always clumsy. I have even seen nasty bugs come from there, where a "county" had a different meaning in different places of the code as different teams had different idea of what a county was but didn't discuss it.
The `cmd &&` looks fishy in their example, and would probably have been removed in a review. Instead, one could write :

const { ping, curl, ㅤ } = req.query;
const checkCommands = [
ping && 'ping -c 1 google.com',
curl && 'curl -s http://example.com/', ㅤ
];

await Promise.all(checkCommands.map(cmd => cmd && exec(cmd, { timeout: 5_000 })));

This way the `cmd &&` is justified
I agree that those are great news that someone is making a new DE.

But currently switching away from Gnome is not that simple, especially if you dislike KDE. A lot of work is being put into making Wayland usable, and a lot of interfaces for features that everyone expects from a modern computer don't really exist outside of Gnome and KDE yet.

As I see it, a lot of users are not forced to use Gnome, but because of their dominance, there aren't many modern mature alternatives to it.

I am a Gnome user myself and with every single update lots of extensions break. Without those extensions I can't really use Linux Desktop efficiently. What would you say if your browser extensions got broken with every browser update?
Is this what they are doing? Seems unlikely that you would transmit so much overhead when the data rate is so low, unless you needed to overcome a lot of noise.

How to earn $1.5M in revenue from a JavaScript component
Nice! The picture in the article (all-white minimalistic GUI, except a button which I would make white too) is exactly what I want an ideal OS I would use to look like. I would then use it with a eInk display (AFAIK full-size eInk desktop displays exist although are very expensive, I hope eInk laptops are also going to emerge once we have suitable software) and probably feel very happy.
OP here!

It wasn't that hard to handle the conditional logic for the UI components. It can also be encapsulated in a separate package, something that is already available for Flutter on mobile (iOS and Android UI): https://github.com/stryder-dev/flutter_platform_widgets

I could also not strive to make it look native, but go with the default UI (Google's Material UI). As I explained in the post, I decided to take some extra steps and use the two UI packages (macos_ui and fluent_ui), to make it adapt to the platform.

Please bear in mind that I am a single developer, with ~1 year of working with Flutter and Dart, and my main background is web development. I think that teams with more members and experience can certainly do this for even larger in scope apps.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this bizarre language is. It reminds me a bit of "freeze peach".

But then why write a comment on that issue at all?
Raising a mass of m = 5 kg by a height of h = 300 m under gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 represents an increase in gravitational potential energy of E = mgh = 14700 joules.

Power is the movement of energy over time, measurable in joules per second, or watts. Moving 14700 joules in 1 hour = 3600 seconds represents 14700 J / 3600 s = 4 watts of power.

Good code is maintainable code. And while you, as the original programmer, might be perfectly comfortable writing your code using Arabic variables and comments, what if the next person who has to maintain the code is from Korea? Or Russia? Or France? Or China?

OK, maybe you're a small startup in Taiwan and so you don't care about the next maintainer in your company not being able to read or write Chinese. What if you decide to open source your code? Or Meta decides to offer you a zillion dollars to buy you out, but after they do their due diligence, realize that the code is utterly unmaintainable should they decide to outsource internationalizing the code so it will work in Brazil, so that requires native Portguese speakers (who can preferably be paid low, low wages) --- but they can't understand the code because it's using Chinese variables and comments. And then Meta decides to back out from the deal?
Ugh, next year is gonna be ugly for Dems.

> (less regulatory hurdles, less local interference/input)

This is not the current hurdle when it comes to more nuclear in the US or Europe. Nuclear is very welcome where it is currently under construction, and there's no regulatory reason that these sites have all become construction disasters, it's just bad execution of the reactors.

Even China's attempts to build the French EPR design took twice as long to build as they had estimated initially, and we don't really know how much more in cost.

Nuclear's path to new reactors begins with being able to build on a reliable schedule without exorbitant cost. There are many sites that would welcome more nuclear that would not have NIMBY problems, there's just no one willing to bear all the risk of finding that unicorn contractor that can actually build.

This same problem was also evident during the late 1970s and early 1980s nuclear projects. There was NIMBYism back then affecting projects, but there was also lots of construction malpractice that resulted in big cost overruns. US utilities can not bear the construction risk of a $10B project. Few entities can.

When I read your description, I thought that maybe it was an app that prompted you to take a picture of the operating hours sign at a store when you visit, then sends the picture to a queue for someone to do the actual entry. The actual app is entirely different, but my idea might allow even more casual users, like me, to contribute. I don't have time to play an AR game like that, but I could easily snap a few pictures or answer some simple questions when I'm on the go.
A willingness to discard everything doesn't mean you can actually do that though. Windows, for example, simply doesn't let you get rid of the Microsoft DLLs. You can't talk to the kernel directly, the interface will change and break your program. The BSDs and macOS all do the same thing.

Linux lets you do this. The interface is stable. People can build their custom user space on top of it and enjoy a great kernel full of drivers. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone came up with a 100% Lisp user space? A 100% Rust user space?
