It is not MS style. Not so long ago they were blaming sysadmins for 404 errors.
The official Windows Powertoys now include a bulk renamer.
Linus is paid by the Linux Foundation, which is funded by corporations. I don't either LF or their funders have any influence over Linus. The funding side of things doesn't seem to matter though, because those corporations contribute directly. For example, there was some DRM enforcement code added to Linux and more recently Intel is trying to get their "software defined silicon" stuff into Linux.
We have many devs who are fresh out of university or used to windows, so not all are experts with the Linux/Mac command-line. This is helpful for them...

Removing an ideal opportunity to learn doesn't sound particularly helpful. In fact, it sounds like you want them to "get up to speed quickly" and "hit the ground running" rather than be onboarded in a way that makes them useful, long term members of the team.

This approach is practically the opposite of how I think you should treat a new graduate on your team. They're new to the company, the tools, the operating system, even to the world of just having a dev job in some cases. They need time to be able to learn how to work well. I get that you want to remove a barrier and make life easier, but overcoming that barrier yourself is useful, even if you need a bit of hand-holding to do it.

Whose idea was this? I can't help but think this is the work of a senior who doesn't want to mentor or help juniors, and they've automated their problem of being asked 'dumb' questions away. If someone brought this script to my company I would fight against its adoption.

Edit: I just saw this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29535498. In your position I'd delete the script and work on updating your on-boarding documentation, because you're fixing the wrong problem, and also realise that 2 - 5 days to onboard in a new role is normal and perfectly acceptable. Just understanding a new codebase takes longer than that.
What I mean by that is ownership and access of your course content beyond AlterClass. More coming soon :)

"16 GB is not supported because the system has two slots and 8 GB sticks do not exist" ...yet.
There is a big cost of context switch. If you are such a genious, that you can just jump around in entirely different codebases fixing entirely different set of problems, in a way that actually improves things, than hats of to you, because I can't. I am not bored and I am fully occupied maintaining my own OSS codebase and I doubt some random dude could just come and fix a problem there (unless it is a really trivial one).
My reading was that the “identical ancestors point" is the point at which every person is either:
1. an ancestor of all currently living people; or
2. an ancestor of no one currently living (ie their line died out).

Alternatively, it’s the time when all currently living humans have exactly the same set of ancestors.

Whereas “most recent common ancestor” means that the intersection of ancestries of all living people is non-empty. (That intersection being the common ancestor)
It's worth noting that world3 model is fairly sensitive to initial conditions and small perturbations can yield population predictions exceeding 20 billion or under 1 billion [0]. It's pretty unclear whether the patterns are actually useful or actually "natural" rather than artificial. For instance, virtually all scenarios in world3 end up in a peak->collapse, but it strains credulity to imagine that similarly applies in the real world.

On the other hand, population levels reducing (via education and stability) will reduce the amount of resources globally needed, and the loss of workforce can be compensated by technology. That can lead us to a scenario that's perfectly fine despite a high cost of resources.

It also seems to have a delay between starting every program. I tried to shove all my startup programs into a single batch file and run them in parallel and my PC is ready in 2 seconds. It may have made sense in the past, but with speedy CPUs and SSDs it's just an artificial bottleneck now. But I guess we're in the minority of people actually shutting down their machines any more...
> The technical demo also puts previously showcased UE5 features Nanite and Lumen on display. After the interactive chase sequence, users can roam the dense, open-world city environment using UE5’s virtualized micro polygon geometry system which provides a massive seven thousand buildings made of thousands of modular pieces, 45,073 parked cars (of which 38,146 are drivable), over 260 km of roads, 512 km of the sidewalk, 1,248 intersections, 27,848 lamp posts, and 12,422 manholes in a virtual world that is slightly larger than the real downtown LA. Additionally, as one drives or walks around the city, you can pass 35,000 metahumans going about their everyday business.

That is some amazing tech! It actually feels like Unreal Engine would be really well suited for other genres of games, not just the historically prevalent FPSes, such as creating RTS games or maybe even something like Cities: Skylines, in which being able to create large detailed urban environments could be amazing!
My wild speculation: without any outsider's help, 30-40 years, or most likely never.

China has barely 10 years of experience in chip industry and it's not necessarily the most profound one. China's most successful foundry SMIC was made possible by former top TSMC engineers (many with PhD's from top US universities) and it's generally understood that SMIC's most cutting edge 14nm node is really a clone of TSMC N16FFC. Many also suspect 14nm is their limit and can't advanced any further without access to the chip manufacturing supply-chain in the US/Japan/EU, who collectively own 95% of the market. Shanghai Micro Electronic Equipment, SMEE, recently announced that they developed their own 28nm lithography machines, but that's also with help and components from Japan. The 28nm processing is hardly a cutting edge tech and that's not even under US sanction. Even Taiwan/South Korea depend almost entirely on supply-chain from the US/Japan/EU (except wafer).

Now, the key idea here is "outsider's help." It's not impossible if China is allowed to poach engineers from their suppliers/competitors, steal IP, or import highly sensitive, cutting-edge components and materials from the US/JPN/EU. The problem as I see it is, there is obviously no shortage of American multinational companies, such as Apple, Nike, etc,... willing to sell out America's national security or economic interests to make more doh's in China. And Apple isn't just a very profitable US company with the largest market cap in the world, but also it's very well politically connected -- just look at the shenanigan Apple pulled against Qualcomm with their operatives at FTC. The orange man was somewhat of an anomaly and managed to stop this flow, but I'm not so sure about Biden or whoever comes next. The recent revelation, or $270B deal between Tim Apple and Xi, clearly shows what Apple intends to do and where this is going to go if Apple is left unchecked.
"Safe enough for me" does not mean, and is not equivalent to, "safer than me".

Best of luck to you young man, you're a hell of a catch, and I hope you find a mate.
Twitter isn't removing any tweets saying "it's more dangerous for old people". But they will remove tweets that say "I'm not vaccinating my children because children never die from COVID" because the person tweeting this is feeding into COVID denialism, which is dangerous. These people are not interested in facts they are weaponising single data points in an attempt to further their "planedminc" agenda.

Interesting you bring up tobacco/fossil fuels because the media manipulation techniques they pioneered are now being used to fight COVID reality and the talking points are then regurgitated by idiots who die alone, gasping. e.g. "Medical Freedom" as rallying cry used to justify infecting others, denying COVID (it's just the flu), etc.

The denialism isn't coming from twitter here. Twitter is 100% trash company and 99% trash users but these rules are there to fight what you say you are against ("science denial and disregard of reality").
"Absolutist approaches are the death of all good things"

Your comment hit me right in the reality. I’m a uni student currently taking an OOP Cpp course. At times I don’t know what to ask or how to ask it because of the cognitive load. Value of, address at, private member function, pure virtual functions, bah! I’ll get there, eventually.

Agreed, but VC is a DOS program, and I meant one that I can use daily to enhance productivity on a Windows 10/11 machine. On the other hand, Total Commander and all its clones really don't feel like the original with their Windows controls.
AWS and other compute providers will continue to buy what customers want, but:

1) if their managed services (RDS, DynamoDB, etc) can run on ARM and it provides a better price/performance ratio, they'll use that internally, thus needing less x86 hardware

2) if most customers can run on ARM (interpreted languages run out of the box, compiled ones need more effort but is still doable) and it's better priced than x86 there is less demand on x86 again.

Putting me in an environment I don’t want to use is easily going to make me several times less productive. I’m not going to blame those tools for reducing my effort, because I’ll put in the same amount, but I can absolutely blame them for not letting me work more productively.

Any solids. We recently started with fruits for a short while because that’s what our pediatrician recommended and the smell immediately got bad. Like real bad. Transitioned to vegetables and proteins and it got even worse though.

As a side note my wife and I are convinced going fruits first was not ideal as our 6 month old now loves her fruits but hates her veggies. We saw this coming but figured it better to listen to our pediatrician.

I wish Stylus (CSS manager) was supported.

Its tab management / display is also vastly superior to Chrome's.

Firefox/Android (or Fennec via F-Droid) has some annoyances:

- No keyboard hotkeys.

- Doesn't full-screen maximise.

- No print-to-PDF.

- No per-site font or zoom settings.

- No per-site cookie management.

- Weak Bookmarks controls (bookmarks cannot be reordered once saved).

For a mobile browser, though, it's pretty good. Far superior to Chrome IMO, except on older devices where there's still a noticeable performance penalty (a 2015-era Samsung tablet).
GNUstep is really a framework and closer to something like Gtk+ or Qt. Window Maker is a window manager, it has its own GUI toolkit (WINGs) but it is really only meant for use with Window Maker and perhaps some dockapps (though some dockapps use other toolkits anyway).
Cookie popups are bad, but they're pretty similar to a no smoking or no parking sign. In this case, it's the reverse. The whole internet bans cookies, but it informs you that you're entering a cookie zone.

These companies may think they're protesting the cookie law with popups but it's achieved what I expected it to achieve. It's given me fair warning that the site intends to track and monetize me, so I can walk away if I don't think it's worth it. And it adds a higher cost to it too.
LOL, you are right, such a silly typo. I was actually playing around with VLC player at that time, so must have got "crossed wires".
The transcendents are truly that. But, I'm more into symphonies than vocals (no offense). I've heard all of the biggies many times. And if I had to pick one for the desert island, it'd be the Unfinished and Great. (Two in one jacket.) Why? because: how did he do that?
One end of that range should include 'you already have it but we're not telling you'.

I noticed the type numbers of one of my computers had RAM that was 2x the quantity advertised and indeed with some fiddling I managed to unlock the second half.
I'm aware of this. But again, your original claim was “If it were not for central bankers printing money into existence, a person could work their life, save a portion for retirement in a bank account or other fixed income product, while enjoying a positive return on their investment, without taking on market risk of loss of funds.”

I've yet to understand where you got that idea from, or what it has to do with all of your nonsensical followup comments.
More or less. The "startup screen" would basically be a screenshot of the "empty" state of the first screen of the app, so, for example, if you had an email app, you'd load a screen which had an empty list where the list of emails would appear and an empty bar at the top where your buttons to compose a new message and such would go, but with the buttons unlabeled - these empty UI elements reduced the odds that your user would try to interact with them yet. Ideally, when the app finished starting up and the screen was replaced with the actual UI with labeled buttons and a populated list, there'd be no visual discrepancy otherwise and it'd look like your app started instantly but then just took a moment to load your emails.

This became less practical as the iPhone started getting multiple models with different screen sizes.
Tbh haven’t gone deep into it, now you ask maybe I should. It compresses ok, zstd to 240MB. React + react native, we lack etc tons of stuff. My guess/hope is mostly dev dependencies.
But isn't one of the problems of global warming (ie where humans have a "future") the amount of waste heat we are producing?

not yet, but I think of a delayed shell script (cron 15min?). JS (clientside) may be not of much use.

Or use a feedback webform via https://github.com/mro/form2xhtml - doesn't have to be email then.

Or monitor IMAP folders for accepted comments and cron them to the webserver a la https://codeberg.org/mro/flohmarkt.monte-ts.de/src/branch/ma... and online.sh
Canonicity has value tho..to frame it as a design flaw is just wrongheaded.
"Marx specifically avoided any such planning and explained why."

Where did he say so?

Because marxism as I know it, surely is and has a plan. A plan to completely reshape society and economy. Dictatorship of the proletariat ... until the state of real communism is achieved.

Can it be, you only heard of the capital, but not the communist Manifest?
Does it mean it is also a shell replacement or you keep Explorer as shell and you run DOpus as you would run, say, Total Commander?
OpenWISP (https://openwisp.org) tries to do this and it's Python and Django based.

Last time I checked it out, it seems like they keep configuration in an intermediate format that is then translated to manufacturer-specific formats, so it should be possible to build a Unifi converter for that.

There's a lot of material like what you ask for audio engineering. In my experience, it is effective, but you have to have the deliberate practice hours in order to absorb the tacit knowledge. And you have to put in a LOT of hours seeing how someone works in order to catch the nuances that can't be verbalized.

COM solves this with delegation, where objects can only implement the methods that they care about and delegate everything else to the aggregated type, which provided the full interface.

However, depending on which stack one is using (VB 6, .NET, MFC, ATL, WRL, WinRT), the amount of boilerplate to deal with the runtime differs.
Well, the reason I was able to apply both "middle of the road" and "80th percentile" labels to the same code is because the former was regarding code quality and the latter was regarding code prevalence (in the same sense that scoring 50/100 on an exam doesn't necessarily put you in the 50th percentile).

As far as developer quality goes...I'm afraid I'm not qualified to comment.
For one thing, the January 6th event was no "coup". It could maybe, very ambiguously, very generously speaking be called a coup attempt (a truly idiotic, inept one if so) and more plausibly you could call it a sort of protest of its own (yes, protests that get violent still get to be called protests even if they don't fit your personal political prejudice). Secondly, the vast tide of BLM-inspired protests was enormous and lasted for many weeks, with many flavors of violence and also in many cases what could very easily be called attempts at local government overthrow in some cases. Whether they fit such a description is arguable, but without a doubt they were in numerous cases no less violent than the January 6th events. Your comparison between the two is absurd and absurdly biased.
Isolated populations never remain fully isolated. If Aboriginal Australians managed to reach Australia tens of thousands of years ago, it makes no sense to assume that nobody ever followed them. It's far more likely that there was constant low-level contact with Austronesian peoples – even if it didn't occur in every generation or every century. And it's also quite likely that some lost sailors ended up in Australia over millennia, and some of them had children.

If the level of contact is low enough, it won't leave any measurable genetic traces. After all, if you go back sufficiently many generations, most of your biological ancestors are not your genetic ancestors.

The way I see it, in the long run AWS will stop net-adding Intel instances. Only decommissioning and re-adding the existing ones. While Graviton-based instances will continue growing with the growth of the cloud market (and global economy), Intel will be considered legacy the same way we view mainframes as legacy.
If the usage terms say "do not use in any critical applications", I would've thought that the responsibility for using the code in that fashion woudl be squarely with the entity that did the integration?

It'd probably be better if the usage terms would by necessity spell out that you were happy for the code to be used in life-critical situations, instead of having to opt out of it.
