I _hate_ smart asses that do "everything final by default". It all fun and giggles until I can't mock some stupid class in some stupid library that I have no choice but to use just because someone is high on "inheritance is bad" hype. Instead of normal mocking/stubbing I now have to use stuff like PowerMock which does byte code hacking just so I can have a test.

How about you stop making decisions for me and let _me_ decide whether I want to inherit your class or not.

Optimal Max Keto Reviews: Best Price and Where to Buy?
Optimal Max Keto

Shedding abundance weight from the body is anything but a simple errand. It is hard to support a severe eating regimen and exercise plan, which is one of the primary justifications for why individuals neglect to shed pounds. Nonetheless, the Optimal Max keto supplement is one of the main dietary equations that can assist you with killing abundance fat from the body. What's more, it kills free extremists from the blood and furthermore diminishes craving and appetite levels.

(In all seriousness the hyperdrives/hypercore protocol is very cool and I intend to try building my next web-builder on top of it.

There are several potential paradigm shifts which this doesn't address.

For example, power consumption may stop growing even while "real" consumption continues to grow. Or we may spread to other planets so that power consumption can keep growing and we don't care if the oceans boil.

Or something else might happen that is hard to predict in the same way that medieval people would find the Internet hard to predict. Medieval people may have made equally valid claims about bounds on the speed at which a messenger can transmit a message, even if you manage to develop a commercially viable racehorse that can run at top speed 24/7.
No risk, no reward. Intel execs wanted less risk and were happy with the easy stream of profits they were getting from their monopoly. Other companies opted to forego taking profits and kept spending on R&D for new avenues for the business to earn money.
That is entirely forgetting that you throw away and replace hardware in that timeline - what happens to the old hardware?
A variation on this also still is extremely common in the case where the ‘file system’ is a web server and the program accessing it a web browser (https://css-tricks.com/css-sprites/)

In that case, there typically isn’t additional explicit compression (1). The main gain is in decreasing the number of http requests.

(1) the image itself may have inherent compression, and that may be improved by combining images with similar content, and the web server may be configured to use compression, but the first typically isn’t a big win, and the second is independent from this strategy.

Vivaldi: Violating CoC on forum may close your email account
My father died 12 days before my 13th birthday, cancer. My 7th grade tech teacher (also sadly now dead from leukemia) sent me home with a camcorder to interview dad, to record memories, because his father died young too. What did I do? I sat in a chair and pointed it at the tv and recorded episodes of Battlestar Galactica (1978) reruns on tv...

Sigh. Although, dad was pretty sick then from both the cancer and treatment and I'm not sure I would have wanted to revisit those videos anyway so maybe it's a blessing in disguise. As it stands though, I only have one recording of his voice - an answering machine recording and I do think it would be nice to have more of his voice. I guess I'll have to wait for time machines.
Telomerase - an Enzyme found in Gamete and Stem (and Tumor!) Cells can reverse this Telomere shortening. Cycloastragenol derived from Astragalus herb can supposedly activate Telomerase - unfortunately it's very expensive to extract in significant quantities eg TA-65 costs $800 for 90 capsules. I tried it for a while and definitely noticed an effect, better skin, vivid dreams more energy. High cost and some concern over potential for Tumor promotion put me off continuing.

GNUstep is a framework (and some applications that use that framework), it is closer to Gtk+ and Qt than to KDE or GNOME. Most importantly it does not provide any window manager and instead rely on an existing one (you can use it with KWin/KDE, Mutter/Gnome, XFWM/XFCE or any other window manager).

Window Maker is a window manager with a NeXTSTEP/OpenStep style, though it has nothing to do with GNUstep aside from looking very similar and thus being a good choice for when using GNUstep programs with the classic NeXTSTEP/OpenStep theme.

I live in europe, too. That kind of lawyers can be very expensive for common people. Most of us don't dream to sue companies/cops and even less so with famous lawyers as legal advice. The closest we have is consumers associations who will take complaint and in some cases start legal actions.

In this case it's even more complicated, because the company is at fault for making an administrative error in declaring stolen vehicles, but the heart of the scandal is that the police followed through on baseless claims and abused their power on random people. As always, the cops are the real criminals here, but where i come from (France) there's close to zero chance to get any form of justice against cops even in the most egregious cases of murder and rape.

This seems to be conflating grammatical gender - which includes differences in pronouns, adjectives, sometimes verbs, and pronunciation, but is still based on relatively minor variations in a common vocabulary - with full dialects, which can have very distinct vocabularies and may include words with unique meanings.

English is at the de-grammarised end of the spectrum. There are gendered clues in English, but they're (mostly) not baked into the grammar. The differences are more about specific idioms and expressions that one gender is more likely to use, and they're really a kind of variation on other subgroup slangs - like teen slang, other age-related indicators.

Most languages have far more obvious grammatical distinctions. The Romance languages have obvious gender in the grammar, but it's... just there. It doesn't do much except to indicate that the subject or object is male or female. Beyond that, there are some rather random associations of gender to specific nouns.

Fully distinct dialects/languages are incredibly rare and are often artificial and/or more likely to be created by a subculture than as a direct result of gender differences.

Example: English has Polari, which was entertainer/street slang and often used in gay subcultures. It also has Cockney, Estuary, Northern, Scottish, Urban, and others - all differentiated by culture.
My wife is on a number of genetic genealogy Facebook groups, and this time of year is peak season for confused new posters who are desperately trying to get some rationalization as to why their father (or mother!) didn't match with them on 23andMe. Many just cannot accept reality and continue posting convoluted possible reasons ("23andMe messed up both me and my fathers tests, but we both still matched with lots of other people?"). It's quite sad at times
Did you misunderstand the document?

The aim is to eliminate use of these fuels. That's not practical in many areas. Moving from open fires to more efficient enclosed fires is the first step toward elimination, used only in places where cleaner fuels are not available.

Here they're clearly talk about reducing all use of these fuels.

"It is recognized that other types of intervention, including improved ventilation and behaviour changes, may contribute to reducing levels of HAP, or exposure, or both, and are an important part of all interventions. However, reducing emission rates remains central to achieving AQGs because pollutants generated in the home enter the ambient environment, contributing to outdoor air pollution exposures, and re-enter homes, exacerbating indoor pollution. Furthermore, it is important that information, training, support and other measures to ensure best use of new technologies and fuels will be an integral part of any promotion effort, whether these are delivered through public, NGO or private sector initiatives, or – as is often likely to be the case – a mix of these."

This step-wise approach is more clearly defined here:

https://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/In...

− behavioural modifications to reduce exposure (e.g. encouraging mothers to keep their young babies away from the fire);

− household changes to improve ventilation (e.g. increasing the number of window openings in the kitchen, providing gaps between the roof and walls, or moving the stove out of the living area);

− improvements to cooking stoves (e.g. ventilation by flues, hoods or chimneys, or increases in combustion efficiency - nearly all pollutants damaging to health are products of incomplete combustion);

− interventions to enable people to use higher-quality, lower-emission liquid or gaseous fuels (e.g. petroleum-based kerosene and liquid petroleum gas, or biomass-based alcohol and bio-gas).

> Programmes can be designed to encourage urban and periurban households that use solid fuels to move up the “energy ladder” to cleaner fuels (such as kerosene or liquid petroleum gas), and do so at lower income levels (i.e. sooner) than would occur without intervention. This approach requires that the availability and affordability of cleaner fuels be enhanced. On the other hand, the poorest rural populations with nearly no cash income, but access to wood and/or agricultural wastes, are unlikely to acquire improved cooking stoves – let alone cleaner fuels – without large subsidies, which are often unsustainable in the long term. There do seem to be large populations between these extremes, however, that can be effectively targeted by efforts to disseminate improved stoves.

If you hit a mountain that you cannot climb or tunnel through, you simply go around it - you don't try to move it or worse start a movement to move it.

It is not about surrendering or giving up. There is difference between when you have to stand up for something, when you find yourself in a situation where you have to go beyond yourself and where you "want" to be a hero. This myth of the hero needs to die. Think about it, a society that doesn't need heroes is a better one.

I am not sure if you realize but there is nothing humble about starting a social movement to "change the world" - which is what the original question was about.
Engineered v/s emerged - one is hubris, the other one is just is.
I wish one could ask all the successful people who "started" a social movement (as opposed to one that emerged), whether with the hindsight of how it played out over the decades, would they still have done it.

To paraphrase the life comment - change happens while you are busy wanting to create it.
Not sure how I feel with this. On one side, not many people have Vivaldi email accounts, so probably not a big deal at this point. And if you're going to have a code of conduct, at least it's a CoC with teeth.

On the other side, if someone doesn't like what you say on the forum for whatever reason (example reason given: Telling jokes or being sarcastic) and enough people report your posts, you may find yourself losing all access to your emails. That seems potentially disproportionate.
Some anecdotes I remember regarding American English: men pose fewer questions, are more likely to use double negative forms, and use the passive voice less. Many word choices are somewhat gendered as well. One reply gives the obvious example of "lovely" being much more commonly used by women, but many words are like that. Even a simple choice like which empty qualifier you use -- "drastically", "dramatically", "enormously", "badly", "awfully" -- can apparently tip the scales one way or the other. (I don't know which is supposedly which for those!) These are small differences individually, but summed up they apparently become considerable.

I take your point, but the "you do realise there is a global pandemic on" take I hear often is also tiresome.

I'm experiencing first-hand, in our business, the hassles and challenges that have come with Brexit (during a global pandemic) and I genuinely just throw my hands up and say "WTF were we thinking".

I'm considering New Zealand. Slightly cliche in tech circles now, I know, but I spent a year there 10 years ago and looking to go back now. Note, this is my down-slope plan. I don't need to be in the traditional centres of business. I'm not trying to disrupt tech or earn a billy!

And, with respect, I don't consider this my country. Plenty of lovely people here, and I feel for them, but the place has gone off the deep end.
The irony is that it’s middle management that will be the first to be laid off. What globalization did for blue collar, management automation will do with middle management.

Making this a “workers’ issue” won’t lead to anything, specially when it’s gig economy workers. Obviously these AI will make their way to non-gig economy sector, and from there spread like wildfire.

This will only exacerbate socio-economic inequalities to a point of no return (revolution of the precariat aside)

It is only outdated by proponents of cloud services since IP based filters are difficult to implement and/or require high maintenance.

Otherwise sensible network segmentation and access rules are pretty much one of the best security mechanisms you can implement, far beyond the usual theatre some security products want to sell.

Not appreciably different, that was the whole logic behind my thinking. In my case I have electric heaters, so doesn't make a difference compared to a gpu -- they're both effectively 100% thermally efficient.
Thanks, I used gentoo quite a bit back in the day! Today I don't do enough file management to bother going outside emacs dired :)

Just to add some context, as far as I remember, gentoo was pretty similar to how DOpus worked on the Amiga until version 5, when it went from being a classic "one window, two pane, rows of buttons" thing, to arbitrary numbers of independent windows. DOpus 5 was really neat and powerful but also quite a different experience, more like its own desktop environment really. I hope I still have the ring bound manual somewhere...
> Firstly the model of sshing into your server and trying to run commands on it directly is more or less obsolete.

Why do you get to declare what is acceptable (using UNIX tools) or what's now obsolete (SSHing into a host)? It's rather presumptuous to believe you can speak for everyone. Perhaps you only ever deploy code using k8s and never need to use a command line but that doesn't mean we all do. There are many reasons one would use these tools and approaches (fun, small scale, investigating problems, anything).
What do you mean by "obliged to apply it"? For example, I very very rarely apply it and nobody is forcing me to create inheritance hierarchy.

> but it looks like the big money isn't interested in companies that make a lot, and more interested in "future potential for growth."

Why not both? Intel has been stuck at $20B net income for years.

AMZN went from $10B to $20B to likely $26B in the same years.

AAPL went from $55B to $95B.

MSFT went from $40B to $61B to $68B.

Alphabet from $30B to $40B to $70B.

FB from $22B to $30B to $40B.

Nvidia went from $4B to $8B and Qualcomm from $5B to $10B. AMD from $0.3B to $4B.

Does not look good when companies above and below you are greatly able to increase earnings and you are sitting still.
x86 makes decoders way more complex than fixed-width instruction set. In turn this leads to hacks like hyperthreading to allow to make decoders to run in parallel and utilize the whole core. Notice how it is absent from M1 since Apple was able to throw more decoders to single instruction flow and make single-threaded performance great.
