This the obvious result of the CLOUD Act vs the rights of people who aren't Americans.

The CLOUD act is built on the presumption that non-americans don't have the right to privacy, and so it includes language to the effect of "you must provide data that you or your subsidiaries have access to".

This means Akamai storing data on EU servers is not sufficient (Akamai has access to the data), nor is an EU-based Akamai subsidiary sufficient because the US parent company is required to pass data from their subsidiaries to the US gov.

This is a direct result not of EU over-regulation (which I'll admit, they love), but the US government deciding that every company that works overseas should be an extension of their intelligence services.

This hits close to home.
I've had a few really intense meltdowns including twice where I ended up in the hospital for trying to kill myself. Apart from my meltdowns I'm a pretty chill guy.

When a meltdown hits, the first thing I do is breathe. I've survived the last ones, I'll survive this one. I acknowledge that I'm having a meltdown and that I need to deal with it before anything else.

Then, the hard part is trying to seperate yourself from your emotions. A meltdown isn't quite you. It's your body telling yourself something is wrong and that you need to do something about it. So take a breather (you're not going to get anything else done anyway) and let your bodily functions happen. If you need to cry, go ahead, if you can get some fresh air that often pretty good.

To finish calming down I try to bring some humor and lightheartedness to my emotions, althought its not easy to do.

On the medium term what helped me the most was getting a healthier life style. I tried meditating a bit but it asked a lot of effort to take the time to do it so regularly. On the other hand, exercise helped me a lot.

On the long term, even if you seem to be against it, the best solution seems to be therapy. I understand that you may be against it, however finding a good therapist can really help.

If you all the answers here haven't convinced you to go the psychotherapy way, I'd suggest finding the next best thing. Talk about your issues to some friends or people you trust. This is not easy either. It requires being really open and transparent about extremely complex issues that you keep bottled up even to yourself.

What helped me most was not judging myself for being emotional. Which is absolutely easier said then done. However small issues could spiral out of control because I didn't handle them well, and then I'd hate myself more for not handling them well, and then I'd hate myself for being so negative about myself and being just a liability to myself and the people around me which was just a vicious circle which ended up in huge meltdowns.

For context, a bunch of this advice I got from another answer on HN and really worked wonders. Not everything is better but I'm in a much better place than several years ago. As I said, mental issues need a lot of time to solve, and accepting that is one of the hard things to do.

>I get draconian. Every time you contest or argue against the vaccination effort, willingly or unwillingly you are on the side of antivaxxers.

Well, at least you're willing to admit your logical fallacies that have lead to your authoritarian opinions.
>There are plenty of szenarios, where the program needs to be able to control every single pixel of the screen.

In those cases, there are hardware solutions for this. That's not the default in any OS right now. Notifications and menu bars cannot be disabled by apps, for example. They need to be disabled from the OS level.

Sometimes it's used to mean "defined as". I.e. you're saying "Let <LHS> be the value computed by <RHS>", rather than saying "<LHS>, which is defined elsewhere, is equal in value to <RHS>".

Other times it's used to indicate equivalence or congruence with respect to some equivalency class. In other words, it's a weaker form of equality, the opposite of how's it's used in, say, Javascript. For instance, (1, 2) === (2, 4) over the equivalency class of the rational numbers.

The latter is how it's used in this context. a === b (mod c) means that "a is congruent to b under the mod c equivalency relation".
I think bulldozer is a great term, because it also captures the 'creative destruction' that occurs when the new better thing replaces the old thing, like google replacing altavista / yahoo, facebook replacing myspace and so on, the iPhone replacing the iPod for the most part and so on.

Also all the other terms I've heard so far are not catchy.

At this point I think UBI is the best solution we have.

I would prefer other things, but UBI is simple enough that I think it could work.

EVERYWHERE online, people are complaining about the epidemic of houselessness. it sucks for everyone.

For the businesses that have to deal with the people our society has abandoned. For the people being forced to live on the streets.

At this point we have a choice. Give the unhoused access to subsidized healthcare and housing, or accept the permanent shanty-towns like we live in a 3rd world country.

You can call it a "quick hack" if you'd like, but I can assure you that all of the potential pitfalls you mention are taken into account by the people who setup and run these systems.

You're not going to "gotcha!" people who have actually done this stuff.
Yeah the ws2811 signal is only around 800kHz or so from what I recall, I was thinking to generate say 8+ simultaneous signals from a framebuffer would be more difficult on an MCU than an FPGA, which can do that trivially. But I think some strips like APA102 can be driven at frequencies in the order of MHz using an SPI type protocol (just saw someone claiming 35MHz on the wire)

Is there a line input on newer MacBooks? I thought the jack had just mic input!

Also, does anyone knows whether the orange dot shows up when you also use an external USB audio interface? If so this is kind of stupid on the part of Apple.

The article also mentions that those apps turn on Microphone capture even when unnecessary, so it seems the dot it's doing its job, although obviously there was a massive oversight, and there should have been a special permission to disable IMO.

Correct. You'll have a employer and employee deduction per period to Blue Cross or your insurer of choice. Same for dental, workers comp, etc.

OP has an interesting point, but at the societal level it's not fair to do comparisons with an unpriced externality in one of the alternatives.
Ok, call it "operationalize" vs. "formalize".

I'm still completely unsure how my logging example above would play-out. I've briefly looked at your code samples, but still not getting it. I just don't see how this is a "programming language" thing.
I agree. He is pro-vaccination (I am too), but he is willing to discuss vaccine complications and side-effects, not sideline them or dismiss them.

For example, he has interviewed two people (one in the US and one in the UK) who were double-jabbed but suffered vaccine complications. Both of those people had poor experience with medical staff following their vaccinations as they sought answers to their symptoms.

I'm not going to stop you from pretending like nothing is wrong if that's your prerogative. I'm letting you know here and now that there is an expanding sentiment among developers that GTK4 is a regression from GTK3, and if there are any improvements coming down the pipeline I have yet to see them. I'm not going to argue with you about this when my app is irreparably broken right now, though. Every attempt I've made to reach out to developers has either gone cold or been rejected. I fully intended to start contributing to GTK back in the v3 days, but now? The current leadership has made it clear that they don't have my best interests at mind. They'd rather scrap everything I used and promise a replacement instead of iterating on it or fixing it, which is unacceptable for a toolkit that is currently in active use. I refuse to donate my time or effort to people who disrespect me like that.

I'm a pragmatist, not an idealist. Promises mean very little, especially coming from the modern GTK team.
Anyone outputting to a 150" LED wall will have a hardware I/O card that allows them to control the output 100%. This doesn't happen in professional settings, only in consumer (and maybe prosumer) settings. Professionals don't leave things like that to chance.
My first thought when seeing this was "E allora?!"

Italy's regions are pretty interesting in their linguistic and cultural variety, I guess. The broad range of languages spoken is fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Italy#/media/File...
Just my personal anecdote. I find it much less tenuous and stressful compared to most jobs. The key may be that I'm doing consulting and not trying to market a product.

Day to day I'm not really a part of the team. If the project ultimately fails I don't have to deal with the aftermath, or the project has already failed by the time I'm brought in and I'm just cleaning up a mess. Regardless, it's not really my neck on the line. It's ultimately the company's fault and I will do my level best to help them, but that's the end of it. Switching to consulting REALLY helped my mental health in this way: If the company makes a bad decision, I don't care anymore. I feel like many (most) employees feel a lot of negative emotion when they believe management is making a bad decision. That's totally gone now.

Regarding tenuous, I feel like I have much more job security compared to a regular employee. More people want my time than I have time. So if one of them bails on me, I just go down the list of relationships. In effect, I have multiple "employers." Worst case scenario I just get a regular job somewhere for a few years. If you're a person who doesn't interview well or is otherwise not confident in your ability to go back to a regular job easily I can see why this would be stressful.
>If I'm going to be staring at something for many hours every day,

Most people would stare at an IDE and browser many hours and not at the DE control's panel or File Manager, and IMO this core apps should have had the UI fixed years ago and not have stuff still changed at each updated.
Given how quickly I got used to having Amazon listen to every word uttered in the house, I extrapolate that this is something that people will eventually do and get used to.

You're not alone. I can't even take the dog on a 1 mile walk around the neighborhood without being on at least 5 Ring cameras. I don't get the draw. I'm sure through gait analysis, data marketplaces and triangulation, Amazon (and by proxy whoever they gift this data too) now knows that a pasty internet nerd is walking his dog every day at 5pm. Toss in Clearview type tools and eventually you won't be able to have any anonymity, even in sparsely traveled public areas.

Suggesting the explanation provided is insufficiently clear, no?
A bad equilibrium is still an equilibrium. That is not evidence that there aren't better ones.
Marketing is a vital skill for entrepreneurship. An MBA is the polar opposite, it would mostly just be a waste of time.

By all means improve your marketing and sales skills, it will only help. Half the battle is building something people want, the other half is communicating it to them in a way that they understand why they want it quickly and concisely.
It mostly concern artists that present video such as for art exhibition or VJ live shows I believe. Any unintended visuals would kill the immersion, the aesthetics and looks unprofessional. Like leaving the mouse cursor visible or UI elements.

I see that some people above suggested a solution with an extra hardware device but even though a lot of theses creatives are using macs, they aren't especially tech literate outside of their field and have to make do with venue that can use quirky hardware with sometimes very limited time to set up their gears.

Google maps measures the wingspan at ~170 ft which is about 4-5 school buses.
Team is #1, hands down. A toxic work environment or incompetent team will ruin your well-being no matter how interesting the stack or product is.

Stack is a matter of personal preference but I would weigh it second since gaining additional experience also influences your professional growth and career trajectory.

Product is lowest. It's like frosting on a cake; having frosting on a cake is a bonus but the cake can still be pretty good without frosting.
just make sure nobody ever uses it ;)
The measured wingspan (using the Google Maps distance measure tool) is around 200 feet whereas the measured wingspan of a B-2 on the ground at nearby Whiteman AFB is the nominal 172 feet, so its altitude AGL is roughly 14% of the altitude of the camera plane that took the photo.

I note "some kind of audio input" for that case. Notifying of audio-recording billboards/etc. is a separate case signalled by the dot (which I think could theoretically be a positive, but isn't practically achieved with just this change).

It's absolutely your best interest to learn at least the basics as business owner. I did so myself - I still do QuickBooks, but I have a cautionary tale.

Learning account is great - it helps you to understand P&L and BS etc - but what you really need is managerial accounting knowledge. I made a mistake of thinking bookkeeping was accounting and ended up not doing good tax planning etc - let's just say I'm still paying for it. Painful lesson!

I would highly recommend still keeping a CPA around - make sure they're truly into Managerial Accounting.
The Pop OS shop is a fork of Elementary's Appcenter.
I often think that Linux needs to divorce itself from the notion of distributions and instead we need to find a better way to deliver these all-inclusive experiences in some alternate way. Specifically in this case I love everything that Elementary is doing but wish you could "bring your own OS"

This is the issue with Linux Desktop - every time you want to try something new you need to effectively reinvent the wheel for yourself. Most things end up being the same though, my browser is my browser, my data is my data. I can compartmentalize some of that to make it portable between distributions but I feel like that is solving the problem from the wrong direction.

At some point I would hope this becomes a DE like Gnome or KDE. Inventing your own programming language, app marketplace etc... is admirable but seems like it is being done in vein.
Same here. The insurance through my Fortune 500 company is incredibly good and cheap. It would be so expensive if I tried to buy a similar level of insurance at market rates.
That is interesting, and seems perfectly reasonable at first, but then please explain what "Technology Management" could possibly have to do with Computer Science. Informatics (domestic meaning) fits with Technology Management, they're complementary. Computer Science, which is a subset of Mathematics, has nothing to do with management of technology (or computers). Techs, administrators and SysOps are not computer scientists, and even if they happen to be (which is becoming more common), they're not doing any computer science when they're managing technology. What is the translation of (western) informatics? Is it possible the translation is correct? [1], [2], [3], [4] Or is it more likely Dutch universities don't know what Computer Science is? Is there also a Dutch department of Veterinary Science and Pet Management somewhere? Or a department of Astronomy and Optometry? Mechanical Engineering and Machining?

1- I doubt anyone at Apple intended the orange dot to be broadcast to everyone watching their television during a live musical performance on SNL with visuals in the background. It is not possible for the performance to be recording any of the viewers, so there's no possible "dipshit" to be protected from.

2- The dot appears on secondary displays running full screen video: there is no menu bar to crop off. You can only crop off part of the visuals, or your visuals have to be lower resolution to produce artificial dead area to crop.

3- Apple has never given any indication that they intend to add indicators that someone else is being recorded by my computer. The indicators are for the computer owner, to indicate that software may be recording the owner without their knowledge. The parties are all different than you're supposing.
>They steal cheap ass Honda civics and what not because they’re easy to steal. Thieves steal easy to steal things.

You're talking about joy riders. The rest of us are talking about more sophisticated operations. Besides, your logic doesn't follow: Because most thefts are of vehicle X, there are no thefts of vehicle Y?

The police didn't say it was the primary method of stealing cars, only that it was a new phenomenon they hadn't seen before.
They take things so seriously because a lot of money, and the livelihoods, reputations and careers of a lot of people, depend on many, many apparently tiny details. Particularly in live performances every show you get one chance to get that show right. One. And then you have to do it again, and again. But getting it right for the next audience doesn’t make it ok that you got it wrong for the last audience.
I think 32 hours is too big of a step (I favor 36), but it seems very clear to me that this is going to reduce the supply of labor. A lot of non-exempt people who work 40-50 hours now will work 32-40. More people will need to be recruited into these professions and employers will have to pay a touch more.

Yes, at the bottom end, from people already with multiple employers, the benefit will be indirect.

Reasons to think 36 hours could be reasonable:

- We've had a 40 hour work week since 1940; since then productivity has gone up by 6x, but for most of recent history labor has not shared in the gains from productivity growth.

- Other developed countries have adopted a 35 hour work week with success and are even considering 32 hours now.

- Automation is displacing many jobs; shortening the work week to reduce the supply of labor comparably makes sense.

- Alternative schedules of 9x4 or alternating 4 & 5 day workweeks of 8 hours a day make a lot of sense and would reduce stress on transport infrastructure and free up commuting time, too.
