Hard sell, but a laptop with a reversible 2-1 screen, one side OLED, and one e-ink, would probably be a winner.

Or something like the framework laptop, but with a plugable/ unplaggable screen, and you switch as needed.

I would buy one. Espacially on travel, where the prospect of working outside in nature, and having a one week battery life would be fantastic for work.
I just had a look at Jami now and I have to say they did a lot of things right when it comes to user experience which you don't typically see in open-source (and especially not in most GNU projects).

Going to their main website clearly gives you a "download" call to action with your current platform's logo implying it's available for your platform, and below the fold offers links to a broad selection of other platforms. It also happily supports mainstream proprietary platforms instead of insisting you should use Linux.

There is a focus on user-facing features and functionality, instead of focusing all on how free/libre or decentralized it is or some minor technical detail. These are good, but unless your software actually solves the user's problem, freedom or technicalities don't matter because they simply won't use it. I feel that a lot of decentralized social projects fall into this trap.

The website and UI of the clients (at least MacOS & iOS one - haven't tried the others) is also good enough. There could be some minor improvements to be made here and there (and obviously design is subjective), but overall it's a friendly, inviting design and color scheme.

I have to give them props for this, it's unfortunately not common in FOSS projects, but if there's a place I definitely didn't expect this it would be GNU.
Wow, that is good.
The opportunity cost of “we've added it to the backlog ”
This kind of scam is enabled by the way Youtube, Facebook, and others offer no way to contact an actual human for help (or if you find a way, you get a useless canned response.) People who realize something is wrong have no forum to air their concerns.

Managers! What a bunch of bozos who only care about how their PowerPoints look, amirite?
Few months ago I was asked by a colleague to contribute an inspiration for a company development workshop. Frankly speaking - I am pretty damn disillusioned by now and couldn't come up with anything meaningful. He insisted, so I googled specifically for "coporate buzzwords" and came up with this:

"Further establishing a welcoming and diverse work environment encouraging synergy and collaboration by committing to a common set of strategic goals."

That statement was unanimously received very well and nobody realized that this is basically just sarcasm in action.

Practically speaking my colleagues are all very smart (academics, PhDs all over the place) and should be able to detect bullshit bingo. At the bottom line though whether or not to go actively and motivatedly along with this ... bullshit makes a very practical difference with regard to boni. So, I don't know. Maybe it's me who's the idiot.

In short: Bullshit bingo'ing is also often quite lucrative.

To say the least, yet another attempt to solve a non-technical problem by technology. — Now you have to come up with a perfect and accurate definition of the non-technical problem (including all the edge cases) and hope the best that someone will be able to operationalise these definitions and come up with the perfect technical solution, while also addressing any possible scenarios of misuse. Also, you hope for a perfect deployment of this perfect solution. What could go wrong?
The E-call system is not an Internet connection (though: GPS, microphone and telephone - "no thanks", some of us will say).

And, you can remove the E-call system: it is foreseen that it cannot be disabled by a user, not by a random mechanic, but it can be disabled by the manufacturer. Of course, it will probably be a nightmare to deal with them and have them do it.
That's not your laptop so you don't decide what should run on it. (When I said user I really meant owner)
Seems they will charge a subscription to access this - at first thought I wondered if this is the best option, and not just charge a per-leg fee like https://flightfox.com (who do concierge travel services and I love them) but I suppose, if you get the flight schedule you want, many people will instead jump and book direct with the airline. This can be good, if the flight aggregator is a behemoth and will not help you in case of problems, or bad if the airline is a behemoth.
Re those who can't get vaccinated, once again: Vaccinations do not prevent transmission. Vaccinations do not prevent transmission. Vaccinations do not prevent transmission. Do you get it?

... A walking Bioweapon?

Please, tell me - if you can - what the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) is, in order to prevent a single case, hospitalization, ICU admission or death.

If you can't tell me that, then you have no leg to stand on to accuse people of being "walking bioweapons" (jesus h christ). And once you find any of those 4 NNTVs, I think you'll be more than a little surprised, if you have any intellectual honesty at all
Doesn't work with Google. If you cannot log into the account, their legal team won't accept that you are the account holder. Even if you provide passport and driving license etc., they can't be sure, because you didn't upload the passport and stuff when opening the account.
This is not good advice. Buddhists have been studying how to quiet the mind for the last 26 centuries, and I think their advice is a lot better.

The basic theory is, distractions and intrusive thoughts are due to craving, and craving is accompanied by muscle tension, including subtle tension in the head. Right after realizing that the mind has been distracted again, you have a special opportunity to reduce the likelihood of that concern coming back again. In other words, you have an opportunity to soothe that concern and tell the brain that it is not so bad, that it is not such a worrisome thing.

Right after realizing that the mind has been distracted, release the distraction, meaning stop going further into the fantasy. Relax throughout the body. Bring a small smile to the mouth. Bring up a wholesome feeling, like the feeling of kindness you feel when playing with a puppy or trying to get a baby to laugh.

This is how you apply medicine to the concerns of the mind and gradually get them to stop intruding and bothering you.
Full Stack Web Developer (m/f/x)
At some point someone (will it require a combo developer/MBA?) is going to make a name for themselves by finally being heard when they say all this complexity is unnecessary. The raw compute at our finger tips is being wasted, replaced by pointless complexity for resume inflation and unnecessary cloud bills.
And now how I imagine it would go:

> Look Mr. C-level, I built this amazing tool that makes unicorns excrete rainbows. It is a PoC built in my own time cause I don't have time/money or a project.

> Wow, great! We need this, it fit right into our strategy for Digital! Just go talk to Mr. Bozo, our head of Digital Innovation Strategy Management.

> O, so you have an idea and want budget. Please write a two page memo describing how you can add value, who the internal client will be. Make sure you get steering council approval too and approval from our CISO. If you succeed I will present this to the board as something cool I am personally responsible for!
O, and please ask the internal clients for funding, cause you are providing value right? They will be happy to put you in their year plan. The plans for 2022 have already been sent to the board for approval, but this can be the first thing for 2023! In the meantime I will buy an off the shelf solution with <big vendor> and pay a fortune to let them customize it so it doesn't work anymore. Before anyone realizes what a waste of money that was I'll be long gone, haha. Off to the <big vendor> sky box, they invited me to come watch the Super Bowl again.

I’m fine with all of those things. Drunk driving is a terrible thing and should be punished appropriately as a deterrent. But this isn’t a punishment of the offenders, it’s a mandate upon everybody, the vast majority of which are law abiding.

This is just like the majority of gun control laws that do little more than infringe the rights of the law abiding gun owner.

No - you need backup codes and something else, like a password, SMS OTP, or access to the recovery email address.
I adore Boox. My Note 2 is amazing (and keeps getting better and faster note-taking with firmware updates every few months).

I’ve ordered a Mira, the 13.3” one, which I think is a more useful size for the type of documents and uses e-ink has.

This is super cool though!
High performance implementations are possible even with bad ISAs, given enough resources.

x86-64 is much worse than ARM. It's a literal clusterfuck. And yet.

A high performance implementation of ARM, which is a much better ISA than x86-64, was something expected to happen sooner or later. It did not surprise me.
Linux often has problems working with software too. It's great if you like using a Linux Desktop man, but don't pretend like there aren't any problems over there the same as there is in any OS.

Mind you, Android can be pretty effective on the tablet for some tasks. But when you will want to use a complete Office Automation suite, instead of the more toyish mobile alternatives...

A dual boot system (Android vs Linux Desktop) would be the best solution.

We humans are gene making machines. We like to pretend we are superior and full owners of our choices, that we are above animalistic tendencies, that we are special and not like the others, but... couldn't be further from the truth. We are different, but not that different. Gene making still drives our behavior, whether we see it or not. And in more ways than most people imagine.

Why are people ok with being wealthy? Because having access to resources means more chances that your genes will be passed on - based on how it used to be in nomadic times. Maybe now that doesn't apply as much, but genes don't know it. For all our limbic brain and genes know, we're all still cavemen hunting, fighting for resources, foraging, etc. So yes, people will be ok with being wealthy.

Why is there no limit of wealth where people who have it say "ok that's enough, I don't need another one billion dollars"? Why do people keep hoarding absurdly until infinity? Because our genes are not used to infinity. It used to be that "the more the better". Famine would come. Let's save up as much as possible, let's get as many nuts as possible. There never was infinity of resources. We are not built to get it. This is what people need to understand about rich people that seem insane (besides possible trauma that drives other parts of their behavior). This is just how we are programmed.

Why is there so much political corruption and people stomp on top of each other to get more power? Why is it that morality seems to be such a fallible reason for people to act? Same. Exact. Reason. Evolutionary advantage based on millennia old hardware. If you kill my genes, yours go on, and mine don't. If you have more power, you have more access to resources. More chance of survival.

Asking someone to use their higher intellect and go against their instincts in favor of morality is often really hard. All of these are instincts. And unless we change humans' genetic code, or we somehow with AI merging change our intellect, we will continue being this way. We are the same guys that would burn witches, and chant "kill kill kill!" in gladiator coliseums. Just now the way we burn witches and chant that is different. More "sophisticated".

That is absolutely not true. While React has a big piece of the market right now, it has not "clearly won this ballgame". Both Vue and Svelte are very much active in the industry and gaining terrain fast.

Frontend development is an extremely fast moving field and claiming a "clear winner" makes no sense.

Having said that, I agree that Angular may not be the best option in the general sense, but given that it is a Google-backed framework, they probably have the best talent available to build tools efficiently.
Torx seems to be the superior head to me as well. The rest of the country (big chain hardware stores) seem to be still stuck with mostly Philips and Pozidrive.

Thanks for the information! I've heard about flakes but i failed to understand the usefulness of them... from what i gather it's a very heated topic in the nix community which seems to be splitting the ecosystem. Can you recommend in-depth resources about the pros and cons of both approaches from a critical perspective?
So I like metrics, and carbon footprint is kind of a metric, but I don't like it.

The problem is that it bundles the avoidable and less avoidable carbon and attaches it to the end process you control rather than the e.g. electricity supply which you don't have direct control over.

This is the key propaganda achievement I think, connecting "heating your home" or other things you think positively about to "outputting carbon" and so encouraging the idea that giving up stuff you like is required.

But, if you switch to a heat pump, inductive stove, and renewable power you can dramatically cut your "carbon footprint" while improving your life and saving money.

Technically you can figure this out from "carbon footprint" info, but it's all phrased as what you can do as an individual, not what we can do as a global society, and at that level you don't have much option except opting out in many cases.

I encourage people to make small improvements to their life that benefit everyone, like commuting by bicycle or using electric vehicles, but the answer always has been collective action, which is what scares most of the "climate change deniers". They'd rather the world burn than become more democratic and efficient if it threatens their current status.
Report claims Amazon collects over a third of seller revenue, bringing in $121B in 2021

I remember I knocked out a fairly complex app in about two weeks in WPF. At the time such velocity wouldn't be possible in any other framework. The project continued for longer, but when words got out that WPF will be abandoned we decided to move to another platform, not as nice. It's a shame.
I was hoping that Microsoft would make it multi-platform, as it was the best system so far I worked with.

Even if a dedicated comparator can be a little cheaper than a full adder, all CPUs already have full adders/subtractors, so all the comparisons are done by subtraction in the same adder/subtractor.

So your recommended sequence has 4 additions done in the adder/subtractor of the ALU, because all comparisons, including the compare-and-branch instructions, count as additions, from the point-of-view of the energy consumption and execution time.
