Two things.

- The UIs of the 90s were made with mice and keyboards in mind. The designers' minds weren't yet compromised by the existence of touchscreens, both on phones and Windows laptops.

- IT companies were building tools to empower users and actually competed with each other fiercely. It was important to make sure your UI doesn't suck, because otherwise someone else will. This competition required the companies to put users' needs before their own.

And tangential to that: "developer experience" wasn't a thing. Writing software was an engineering job done by people knowing what they're doing. The bar was set pretty high. Compare that to now, when it's almost encouraged to be a junior developer and pile libraries into your project without ever looking under to hood to assess the compromises you're making. And the way the code looks and builds is considered more important by many than the end result that ships.

I know right? Plus MS Teams is the among the most used apps in the enterprise world how come the only good version of it is only available in Windows 11 where most workplaces aren't even pushing it to their users.

The way Microsoft handles Teams annoys the crap out of me the MacOS and Linux versions are left to die basically.
This is why fossils are rare.

But, surely you know about mummies, yes? Mummification has happened accidentally, including Ötzi.

Bodies are found in peat bogs which have been there for 2,000 years, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huldremose_Woman . See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bog_bodies .

And it isn't that the organic material doesn't decay, but that fossilization occurs before substantial decay. The first paragraph in the Lagerstätte page even says:

> These formations may have resulted from carcass burial in an anoxic environment with minimal bacteria, thus delaying the decomposition of both gross and fine biological features until long after a durable impression was created in the surrounding matrix.

so, no, they weren't "preserved on the surface of a rock", but buried, then fossilized.

In the fish image, the upper layer then forms its own layer of stone. In the Green River Formation, the split fish layer can "easily split along the layers to reveal the fossils" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_River_Formation

If you don't understand the topic, that's fine. But to reject a description under the guise of skepticism, without honestly engaging in the material, is not.
I read it as they were surprised that regular vaccinations had no effect on Omicron, but that [recent] boosters did (although to a limited extent).

That seems to jive with what I have seen on the ground, around here (New York). Dozens of friends and acquaintances are sick. None, severely. I am quarantined through Christmas weekend. Tests (at least accurate ones) are rare as hen’s teeth. The home test kits seem to be absolutely worthless. I have not talked to one single person that got a positive from a home test (some were clearly symptomatic, when they took the test, and still came up negative).

To be honest, it's not very important to me - I need this particular case on the one machine where I use JetBrains IDE. On this machine I just switched to the Xorg. Everywhere else, I am quite happy with the pure Wayland as is, kudos to developers. It is important [1] for many JetBrains users, it seems though.

Almost the same can be achieved in vim even without plugins

:tabnew | r ! shopt -o globstar && grep -sn STRING **

This opens a new tab with the grepped output. I simply navigate to the line so my cursor is on the filename, then

C-w gf

That's [Ctrl-W] followed by [g] and [f]

And just like that, the file is open in yet another tab. The best part? Since the grep output is just another vim buffer, I can search it as well, just like any other buffer.

And yes, ofc the above can be put into a custom command, just by putting this in the .vimrc:

command -nargs=1 Gr :tabnew | r ! shopt -s globstar && grep -sn <args> **

Then the whole thing can be used like

:Gr STRING

>I work in the south, still I doubt whether anyone says "beer" with the same ee sounds as in één or been. Right?

That's exactly how I pronounce it and I didn't even know there was another way to pronounce it until now. I even checked Wiktionary to see if you weren't joking. I guess you don't work over the border south?

Counting is indeed very confusing too, I had a lot of trouble with it as a kid and it took a while to get used to it. Until I learned English and other languages and started mixing things up again. But I don't think we can (or should) change that, changing spelling is at least something that's possible.

The Qubit Supercharged: Researchers Introduce the Qutrit
For my generation (Gen X), there was a lot of guilt felt over always using English for communicating with foreigners. It was popular in my circle to study some foreign language to show you were making an effort, but the problem was that the language you studied was rarely the language of the person you needed to talk to at the moment. Also, since people didn't really need it, they rarely practiced their 2nd language enough to get decent at it. It seems generally acknowledged now that the best way for native English speakers to show courtesy is to practice Global English.
Tuple is great! It would be crazy cool if we could share multiple screens at the same time. What could be cool as well is if I can share a viewable only screen to the person I'm pairing with while they share with me their regular tuple screen.

Also, Tuple is waaay better than what we use when interviewing people with. Maybe some sort of hot seat feature where we could get people to download Tuple and interview/pair with them there.

> one of the (several) motivations for creating Wayland was to fix the security issues with X11

security was only a footnote in the list of arguments of why X has/had to go.

X11 maintainer Daniel Stone's[0] very funny but also educational talk[1] from 2013 linux.conf.au has a lot of the gory details that make you say thank fuck and good riddance. The talk will make you feel truly grateful instead of nostalgic. Anyone who missed the 3 decade long discussion of why X is bad give it a go (it'll put good cheer in your heart I promise).

> I'm also not convinced that the X server can't be extended in other ways to fix other deficiencies.

it's not about whether anyone _can_ but if anyone should and is willing to do so is the right question (that Daniel's talk answers).

arguing about the cruelty of the method of taking the life is really splitting hairs

If you were to be killed, would you rather take cyanide for a quick death or be boiled alive? One can be humane even when taking a life.

The fact that we humans value our taste buds more than the suffering of the animals we kill for food, shows how cruel we are. There is absolutely no reason for us to be this cruel, in my opinion.
> It's mostly the dialect (pronunciation), fast speaking and unclearly articulated or swallowed sounds.

I agree. I was once in a car with a Brit and Canadian and had a lot of trouble to understand them as a non-native English speaker. They could understand each other perfectly well. So, it must be not the specifics of the British or Canadian accent, but more about the fast speaking like you say.
Stroke of genius right there.
> It seems like whatever team worked on this feature never considered any security perspectives.

The solution is simple: similar in thought to GDPR, make vendors of proprietary products above a certain size (e.g. market share, net worth, # of employees) liable for security issues even if they do not result in privacy breaches.

Vendors will then either have to release their software as open source or need to carry insurance for security issues, and the insurance companies will only provide insurance if company processes are following industry standards - e.g. code reviews, security audits during concept and development, appropriate staffing of developer teams or requiring certifications/training for developers.
I'm quite happy with my MBP14" with the M1 Pro full die. At this point I'm just hoping Apple fixes their macOS Monterey Memory Leaks and the developers of certain Electron apps play catch up with the rest of the industry.

The frostbitten onion one is "o ceapă degerată", worthless. The suggested form here is "nu dau nici o ceapă degerată" which is used, but less common than the painful dick/ass variants.

My favorite is "it breaks my dick" - "mi se rupe pula". Then there is the euphemistic "it hurts somewhere", with the reader left to guess where exactly.

The elbow variant is another euphemism for ass, due to lexical similarity "cur" vs "cot".

> a rash of anti-zoom propaganda that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft

Zoom had and continues to have a significant developer presence in China. Those individuals are subject to CCP coercion. There was also a time when they routed American calls through the mainland [1]. That has been fixed. But it remains excessive to cast all past criticism of Zoom as Microsoft's work.

Software engineering does have the profession of "software architects" in theory, the problem is that the only thing they get taught in academia is building useless object models for Java.

I work as a sysadmin and everyday is an uphill battle to convince people to not do dumb shit like exposing endpoints to the public internet (without need).

I have no security education, but I care about stuff because I will be held responsible if we get pwned at some point.

IMO the biggest issue is that SWEs very rarely have long term skin in the game in the projects they are committing to.

Many have strong incentives to not care about security, day 2 ops, etc... When shit hits the fan bonuses were already paid and said professionals often moved on.

I think that tends to be lessened by having small projects with clear owners that don't jump around all the time. Companies with smaller turnover win big here.
The picture is directly below it. The picture gives you the context.
"fregare" means to rub.
"fregarsene" means to care. I forget my Italian grammar classes, but I think they're considered two different verbs.
how do you know they are not 'investing'. It's my firm belief that even if Microsoft did try as hard as they could and they would assemble a whole teams to try and design/implement a worse product than "Teams"... that would be a spectacular failure.

> I was convinced that all these traps had been designed to keep outsiders out, and to allow people to show their level of education

While this is not the original reason, this is one of the reasons not to change things. For example, ‘distinguishing educated and ignorant people’ had been named a reason to keep Ѣ in the Russian alphabet (it was eventually removed after the revolution).

Sure. It would be much better to put it as "perfectly preserved fossil" or something like that.

Would you happen to have any actual evidence to back this up with?
I had to install Teams for my kids' pandemic schooling. Now, I'm not a stupid man, but Teams makes me feel like one. It's without a doubt the most baffling piece of software I've ever tried to use - teachers post things for the kids to do at home and it takes forever to actually find them as there's so many different places they can be. I presume the goal in creating this app was "we need to compete with Slack", but then various teams inside Microsoft must have gotten very territorial during the design phase and now we have this monstrosity, not fit for any purpose at all let alone competing with Slack.
If we applied the same rigorous testing and verification processes in medicine to software, software development as we know it would definitely end. It would probably take years to convert a straight-forward requirement into a working piece of software. Something like Teams or VS Code that get new features added all the time would not be possible anymore and would cost tons of money. And while security issues should not be taken lightly, I don't consider leaking my user agent to be as big of a problem as getting permanent damage from low-quality medical care.
Yes, the resolution could be higher but for me almost all of the apps (except Zoom) looks great. I would love to have that option today. Old design is much thinner and clearer. Buttons are buttons, they're visible and easy to click, almost every decoration is minimal, they're not taking unnecessary space just for sake of it. This is why I didn't like anything after Windows 7, this is the reason why current Gnome is is just wasteful. I much prefer simplicity and "smallness" of Gnome 2 UI hence I'm using Mate as my daily driver

I'm French too and have never heard of that one.

Also, "I slap my balls on it" is probably the translation of "je m'en bats les coulles", but a better translation would be "I slap my balls with it".

It is sometimes shortened as "j'm'en balec" or even just "balec".
never heard this one before.
I'm finding it very hard to believe that small machined metal parts have more accuracy than 64-bit floating point math, which has around 16 digits of precision. Of that you can't run fp fast enough on GHz hardware to model ship movements which run at a few tens of Hz at most.

If you really want higher accuracy 128-bit and 256-bit fp formats are defined in IEEE-754.

"Finland spent many years as part of Russian Empire"

Yes - and no. Legally Finland was a Grand Duchy, under the direct ownership of the Czar (who was the duke of Finland) - hence Finland was not actually part of the Russian state, even though it had the same head of state, but had parallel autonomous state functions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Finland

At the end of 19th century Russian state started to abhor this autonomy, but actual dissolution of the independent state did not have time to take place before the Russian revolution. As czar died with no obvious inheritors, Finland guessed it was now independent and the Soviet state acknowledged it as such.

So Finland became independent from a luck of legalese basically, and the fact that Soviet state had other problems to deal with than a small parcel of land. The blood price for independence was paid later in civil war and in 2nd world war.
You can't see the picture unless you click the link though. My point in that the title should be give better information even without the article itself.
In french there's "je m'en fous comme de l'an 40" or "je m'en moque comme de l'an 40": "I don't care, as if it was year 40". But the funny thing is nobody really knows about which year 40 this is. It's not 1940 for the saying goes back at least 200 years.
