> nerds will drum up any FUD related to omicron to postpone return to the office.

And push for mask mandates that require people with jobs at stores and stuff to continue wearing their mask 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week until forever. "It's just a piece of cloth" say all the privileged tech workers typing from their cozy home office. If tech workers had to wear masks their entire workday, I bet most of them would be screaming to get rid of them. Instead the force all the (mostly vaccinated) "servant class" that brings them deliveries, makes their food, and checks out their groceries to wear some nasty mask all day and when these tech workers are called back into the office "but still wear masks" they all scream about it and continue to work from home. ... because wearing a mask for an entire workday absolutely sucks.

Our response to this virus requires a hell of a lot of privilege when you really start thinking hard about it. Don't even get started on how our response completely decimated the working class and transfered massive amounts of wealth in to the pockets of some of the richest people in the world. But hey! We are saving grandma!
wonder if a quick email to them could get them to add that feature? seems like a side project for them all, but sounds like an easy enough (and obvious) feature.

i did a quick look for multi-tenant ruby saas boilerplate, and saw the usual list of things that don't quite do that, but all of them seem to do at least single-tenant -- and prob most would claim they do multi-tenant if you just add 5 or 50 hours of dev:

https://www.getsjabloon.com/

i don't know anything about these particular guys.

but my thinking is, you can get to (what seems like) 80 or 90% in a few hours, but that final 20 or 10% takes 50 hours more, plus ongoing maintenance/support/etc.

i'd pledge $5 at six months from now (possibly more) to see it done - just to try to kickstart it.
How do you turn off workspace switching animations on Macs?

Note, I said "turn off", which the "Reduce Motion" setting does not do.

Also, how do you get a 4k monitor to run at 144Hz on an Intel Mac?
Right decision, in my opinion.
I was hoping this.
my rationale is the odds of a relationship not working out are substantially higher than it will. Also, there is a relatively low chance I will still want to see my ex after a breakup. So I try my hardest not to see my coworkers as romantic options. It’s not easy, but I feel like it helps keep things professional in the workplace.

Yeah it seems rather quick. OTOH if SpaceX works people as hard as some claim, she might have the equivalent of 5-10 years at some companies ;-)
>That's a high bar to clear. One thing that Apple does that makes a lot of sense is that they own the hardware and the software.

It’s an ideological bar though. Pick a line or models of laptops and officially support that specific line. Keep the list smallish and from popular manufacturers. Everything else deals with it they way we do now.

Linux on supported hardware is pretty low maintenance. But it’s still not quite as nice as MacOS. And god forbid you get the latest hardware.

I find it both sad and funny watching folks discard efficient, regulated, centralized financial systems, and turn to a decentralized one and deal with the constant scams that such a system would obviously produce. Irreversible transactions, 90% wash trading, the hilariously bad idea of "smart contracts," and surprisingly inefficient core technology designed to become more wasteful as it scales.

Who knows what the future holds, though. There's clearly huge hype in this space. Will anything come of it once the pyramid scheme and ponzi scheme foundational core of web3 is realized and replaced? Or will that day never come? I don't think it will and this is just another gold rush.

Some people are surprisingly open about it, running scams and hyping up other people to try to strengthen their own pump-and-dump scams. We see things like this with people Tweeing/Telegraming/Reddting/whatever about AMC stock too. At least in regulated markets this is easier to catch and change, and it's the minority of trades, where it's the foundation of cryptocurrency.

Thinking more about it, I think I feel bad for the people caught up thinking this will be useful or game changing technology. I wonder how much they realize the core technology has limited use, and all of the hype is around trading unregulated, untaxed asset bubbles.
I don't know much about academia, but is that really a fair assessment of the Linux foundation? Most charities are considered "good" if they spend less than 25% of revenue on admin overhead, and the article says the Linux foundation spends only 7.8%.

And instead of fixing politics, we are just going to have our own un-governed thing over here. Run away from out problems, lets open another bottle. It will be great then.
Obviously, the material a mask is made from stops medium sized particles from flowing through some highish percentage of the time. No good faith actor is disputing that. Studies don't control for real world usage, actual public adoption, actual masks, etc. They also do not control for changes in behavior that we'd expect to occur contemporaneously to the time periods mask mandates are adopted (ie, during spikes in infection). When infections go up, I personally stop going places where lots of people congregate - a huge percentage of people change their behavior in ways that are both germane and impossible to track in response to perceived risk. They also do not or can not control for the differences in behavior in the societies that can actually adopt and enforce mask mandates in the first place; ie, a city that refuses a mandate in the face of a spike has citizens that are more risk tolerate (or something) as compared to eg SF.
> I guess directly supporting open source developers is one way, but now there is the question of who to fund.

Personally I sponsor projects which I consider somewhat niche/non-mainstream, but which I myself reap great benefits from every day.

It’s probably nowhere near enough to put food on anyone’s table, but at least it’s directed at people I find deserving, for things I care about, and for better or worse, it’s better than nothing.
Most applications will use either Gtk or Qt widget libraries, so a lot of similarity of how applications behave already exists.

I don't think it's possible to make Gtk and Qt themselves behave identically at this point. For example Qt is a commercial project and an effort that would break backwards compatibility is not worth it. Gtk on the other hand has strong opinions about how things should work, so it would be hard to change that too.
Interesting that we can’t delete flagged posts…
This is great, as much as interface{} is not great, it's still part of the language and really verbose/non-descriptive. I'm guessing any was a forbidden word?
Ah see, but you work in the space and probably hold any amount of cryptocurrency at all, so you're morally compromised and fundamentally a scammer.

Anyways, sarcasm aside, that sounds excellent - have a link to the project?
I think the last fight in 2.22 tops that. It just feels very cathartic after 26 episodes and a few movies watching Shinji let everything important to him slip out of his hands. It is certainly less in the traditional Eva spirit of "everything you do will ultimately fail, no matter how hard you try"
A neat idea would be to allow prisoners that don't have internet or computer access to publish their own writing in an easy way. Sure, a family member could take the letters and published themselves, but it might be neat to see the image of the letter from prison as well.
What if the value store is the network itself.

At this point currency is an abstraction relying on computers. I handle cash personally once a month.

Amazon cashier-less stores are just as much to normalize the behavior of not paying as reducing jobs).

Producing currency, securing it, moving it, the old banking infra just for finance management has a huge environmental impact.

Banks are easily socially engineered. Corruption is rife.

Eth shouldn’t be pegged to a dollar. It’s not a currency. It’s an information network.

What crypto should be is not property but the technical network abstraction we develop and roll over.

Grifters are trying to generate traditional wealth off the idea it’s a literal thing but we could just keep rolling new protocols out. Up to you to store your work.

It’s a logical substrate for transmitting and storing information that can’t be monopolized like physical money if we see it as such.

Unlike banks with full vaults, ephemeral network control can be coded out. No one person can become a black hole with disproportionate pull on social agency.
There is __VA_OPT__ in C++2a, which handles recursion termination in macro expansion. This will probably be in future C, too, right?

And if there was also __EVAL__ to force the macro preprocessor into another evaluation level, you could write recursive macros quite easily, e.g., to wrap every argument into a function call:

#define EACH(f,x,...) f(x) __VA_OPT__(, __EVAL__(EACH(f, __VA_ARGS__)))

This would make the macro magic for this library trivial: you could process lists recursively.

Edit: added missing paren
On a side note, I use to see people with higher titles than mine not visibly doing as much as me, and found it grating. Now I have one of those titles, and I'm working harder than before, but a lot of it is with vendors, contractors, and overseeing projects. To ICs inside a particular project, it probably likes like I'm not doing much of anything. It changed my outlook on such things a lot.

I found a permaculture community and found a guy who loves to tend to the land but has no money, so I gave him a downpayment to buy an 8 acre piece of land about 2 hours away from me.

> letting it go fully natural

The piece of land we bought was fully natural for a long time and it wasn't pleasant when I first visited. It was extremely thick and hard to even walk about, so the first step we had to do is clear it out to make a living space.

>Seriously? You are going to call the hyperbole in this thread "legitimate criticism"?

The overwhelming majority of it? Yes.

>In this case you have a literal webapp that they also want to bundle as a desktop application. Turns out Electron is the most convenient way to do this.

That's just it, though: Developer convenience; at the expense of the user's experience and resources. So many developers digging-in their heels, refusing to use any other GUI framework because they can't be bothered to learn or use anything beyond JavaScript. If that isn't the excuse then it's because an MVP is needed and, because the market is replete with JavaScript developers, Electron was chosen as the platform on which to build. But after the project is green-lit, surely the product will be built using a more performant, lower-weight framework, right? Well, no, because that only benefits the end user.
But your video on twitter, although very creative, documents exactly the type of accelerating self-referential tornado that that makes people skeptical. All just one big art project? Just a fun game? That'd probably be fine with everybody, skeptics included, but that's not what the proponents are saying. They say it will change everything. Energy and community are necessary but not sufficient for these claims.
This is like saying it's ridiculous for the Apache foundation to call itself such, when they support hundreds of other OSS projects and initiatives, instead of just the Apache web server.
It’s supply and demand, not prestige. There are few perfessorship positions, and many qualified to do it, so there is great supply. In this case, supply is high even without high pay due to the prestige.

FAANG high salaries are due to the low supply of engineers skilled enough. Otherwise, FAANG would not compete on pay. As high as FAANG pays, supply is still not high enough to lower pay significantly.

OP is arguing that teachers should not be compared to professors because supply may still not be high relative to demand. Additionally, the job is still essential enough to keep demand high despite lack of prestige.
Speaking of disingenuous, since when is log4j “web 2.0”?

> The claim that Web3 is rife with hacks, when you have daily hacks of Web2 (are we just ignoring Log4j, which is a huge deal and happened 2 days ago)

That’s also worth thinking less shallowly about for a second reason: if a cryptocurrency service, wallet, etc. you used was hacked due to log4j, you’d lose everything without recourse. This is not true of the mature banking system, and it might be useful to consider how many people would consider that a requirement.
Honest answer - I only vote for candidates that take this issue deadly seriously, and that's about it.

No amount of my meager donations or subtle lifestyle changes (I'm already a lifelong carless urban dweller with a low footprint by Western standards) will accomplish what can only be accomplished by multi-trillion dollar government investment, hardcore and wildly disruptive government regulation, and aggressive diplomatic efforts. Only governments can truly make a dent and I do what I can to elect government officials who will do what needs to be done.
it's nicely made, no?
> If that doesn't work, lock downs are coming..

If they lock down again, they'll lock down every single winter from here on out. Lockdowns in a post-vaccine world are complete madness.
I’m apathetic about all of this, I don’t have a horse in this race, I’m not placing any bets.
Out of curiosity, do we really require these studies? Like it is good to have more and more sources, but wouldn't the expected outcome to be the following:

- vaccines that replicated the spike protein will be less effective since omicron has a modified spike protein, because the immune system only was trained to notice the spike protein and not the payload

- naturally induced immunity from prior exposure to Sars-Cov-2 will be more effective because the body made immunity to the payload alongside the total viral shape
I know not to use the root user and am aware of many of the advanced policy conditions you can use to help control usage, but that doesn’t address the ability for service usage to quickly spiral out of control from either simple mistakes or a compromised user.
People make mistakes. People’s accounts get compromised. I’m sure AWS has plenty of data on what services are most likely to be abused and could come up with a UX that minimizes or prevents that abuse in a simpler way than just providing hundreds of configuration options and calling it a day.
Yeah, this kind of culture absolutely exists, but tbh I'd compare it to Reddit in that regard (hear me out): I don't particularly enjoy most of Reddit, and there are some vile subreddits I'd avoid at all costs, BUT there are many communities and subreddits that I immensely enjoy hanging out in.
That said, my entire "consumption" of web2 communities like Reddit (AND HN!) has honestly been replaced with the amazing and kind communities I met "on" web3 (a misnomer in that context, as the entire comms stack is Twitter and Discord).

Unsurprisingly, the quality of Web3 communities IMO is inversely correlated to how much price-talk they engage in (e. g. in token-gated Discord servers).
The mechanics of buying have very little to do with market dynamics. It doesn't matter if I can acquire bitcoin telepathically if the market is such that early adopters hold all of the power.

>... Nikola just earlier this year. Is that not a rug pull?

Guy is on $100M bail. It's known who he is. There's a fair chance of him getting done for fraud.

Rug pulls are when you come back to check up on your investment and the restaurant is just an empty parking lot, and a tumbleweed rolls across. A skateboarding kid comes out to greet you as he explains some people came there a few months back and took some pictures, pretending they were opening soon.
I wouldn't say large groups of people invent governments. I think they arise from infighting between small groups of people and then a majority of people that didn't really care much about what was being fought about are just "ok with it".

I don't know if government is a terrible idea, but if you agree that monopolies are a terrible idea then maybe at least you should give people against the concept of a government some attention regarding the "monopoly on violence" contradiction that's pretty much alive in all forms of government in place today.
Its all relative.

Measles is 3x more infectious than even Delta.

Current vaccines are 95% effective against the original strain, 60% vs Delta, unknown vs Omicron.

You boost the vaccine however, and you're back to 90% efficacy vs Delta, and like 75% vs Omicron.
You can't apply a blanket statement like that to a country of 330M people and half a dozen time zones. The US is not a homogeneous blob of identical humans, customs, cultures, and governance priorities. Even among "coastal elite" cities the difference in policing (and attitudes towards policing) you see between places like SF and Manhattan is stark to say the least.
We are a nation of laws, not mandates.
Just for starters, every company is a liability for you as a person. Your "equivalent of credit score" will be forever impacted by each legal entity you start.

A company in Brazil needs to fit into categories. So if you have an e-commerce company that sells food, you can't use the same entity to provide a service, for example, the email provider with emojis the original poster did previously. You need a new legal entity for that.

If you have one of the companies not pay by itself, closing it is a nightmare. I have a company that is closed, not debts, not a single problem, for 15 years already inactive. That company is considered a liability for my current company and me as a person. Once you have 3 companies in your name, you start having trouble in Brazil, as you fall into "risk" territory for taking credit, opening accounts, renting offices or apartments, etc. And if one company wants to receive payment in foreign currency, you also have to generate quarterly financial reports, and all sorts of bureaucracy. Each step of the way you find new problems.

The rules are so extensive and so hard to navigate that you can't be the only person working on that. If you want to be like the original poster, you need an accountant that will charge you per company a fair amount of money, and it will still give you a lot of work to communicate with your accountant about each of the issues.

Yes, it is OK for someone that was always an employee to open a restaurant and have a living from that afterwards. Specially since it is a well stablished business category. But serially opening companies in Brazil is not a good time at all.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in this area, I am a software engineer and I do have 2 companies in Brazil, one operating and one closed. Most of my knowledge is either self-taught or learning through my business accountant.
> But the rest of the system is not. I want I computer that I can use in the way that I want, with the software that I want, and not a computer that must be used as Apple wants, and limits you in using an hardware that you bought.

You can't run a lot of software on linux, you can run less of it compared to windows and osx. All hardware is limited, all the x86 laptops have soldered CPUs, there is no such thing as unlimited hardware.

>Also from an hardware standpoint Mac are overpriced machines, with insufficient I/O that forces you to bring a bag of adapters with yourself and components that are all soldered on the motherboard, impossible to upgrade.

M1 is not overpriced for its benefits, the x86 stuff I agree with though and fuck their keyboards. No more Jony Ive, so ports are back!

>The reason why I use Linux is that I can do whatever I want on my computer, I don't have to have signed applications, annoying prompts to tell me that the software is not Apple approved (till there are the prompts and Apple doesn't decide to forbid all unsigned software as on iOS), and similar.

The problem I have with this is that its not that you can do whatever, you MUST do it and use a lot of time in configuration. I find the root prompt just as annoying in linux. I just want a working environment, not a bunch of software that asks me to set every preference.
Yes. And imagine from 2015 to ~2019 I was the only few who voiced those concern, even before the Google engineers raised awareness of non-standard confirming USB-C. Getting downvoted every time while 95% of the comments were in strong support of USB.

The only way to solve a problem is to first accept we have a problem. And we aren't quite there yet.
