nice tip, thanks.

makes me suspect further thats why those puppets/catfishers try to friend people at random on Facebook and LinkedIn.

because once the initial suckers accept them in, they've breached the outer defenses of the social media web-o-trust. after that, they can try to friend more targets, but then have the benefit of being able to get past the "must be friends of friends" filter.
Had to read quite a bit before Conway’s Law was mentioned, but glad it was.

Viewing organizations and software engineering through this lens has been a game changer for me personally. As an individual contributor I now appreciate horrendous technical debt and glacially slow development as systematic organizational issues, rather than blaming burnt out or lazy engineers.

Now I’m much more aware and critical of technical and executive leadership. “A fish rots from the head” is one of those quotes that resonates with me more and more everyday.

I'm sure you wrote this in jest, but in case people aren't aware: The "Stealth" in "Stealth bomber" refer to hiding the plane from anti-aircraft defenses like radar, infrared, acoustics and some optical visibility, but the anti-reflective paint that is used for hiding it optically is only on the underside, not on the top.
Here's a question: do you get pushback about "best practices"? (Sometimes really just "standard practices".) If so, which ones in particular? And do you actually continue trying to explain why it's a good idea, or just throw up your hands with a feeling of "I gave my advice, they can ignore it at their peril".

Having actually convinced people of the value of certain practices (like favoring fast focused unit tests over slow broad integration tests that happen to require the full system to be running), which leads to smoother and more succinct reviews in the future -- like "please add tests" doesn't even need to be said if the developer values them and already wrote some -- I don't know if I'd put up with the stress of having to fight the same battles week after week with a new group. Though I suppose it's possible that you might get good at convincing people of a certain thing, and the ease of convincing can reveal whether the thing is really closer to "best" or just "standard".

Yes, apparently it does show in full screen too.

https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/693969

Removing it in full screen ought to be the easy fix for Apple. By the time you've started the app and are done fiddlign with it while setting it up for production use, it should no longer be a surprise that it's using the mic.

Also, AFAIK apps don't use to autostart in full screen (might even be against design guidelines) so there should always be an opportunity to notice any spying in time.
You're just making a semantic quibble. What if the screen was half taken up by goatse and the other half what you wanted to display? Surely you CAN still use it for live video. But you can't.
Yes I mean that is my current set up, I am not that fast though!

But it would just be nice to have the full DE backing behind i3 as a distribution.

Not at all. But getting run over is certainly the reasonably foreseeable consequence of your actions. It’s not victim-blaming to suggest that people are ultimately responsible for their own safety, and they ought to take precautions.

It depends on what you already know. Picking up new skills that are similar to what you already know isn't a big value add. But picking something up that is completely alien to your current skills not only adds a new skill, but makes it easier to pick up anything similar.

The main takeaway:

Engineers prioritizing making systems easier and more consistent end up with overly complex, difficult to operate systems

Product managers prioritize shipping features and end up making the software development process slower

Security prioritizes minimizing risk of change and ends up maximizing the risk of out-of-date software.

Flat organizations prioritize open communication and end up with cliques and internal politics.

> It also will require a massive shift in our material usage. Bacteria breaking down that plastic bag in the ocean is great. Bacteria setting in on construction, medical devices, or your NES is not so ideal.

That's a great point, and one that may make material planners think twice about using plastics over other materials like metals, woods, or plasters in their projects.
As shown in Windows 10 and now 11, tiling can be achieved easily by:

- having windows automatically start at "empty" coordinates if available,

- having sufficient shortcuts to position them on specific square coordinates.

Since I have a wide screen, I have configured win-[, win-] and win-\ to go to the left third, middle third, right third.

On a thinkpad, I complement that by having win-left to the left half (50%), win-right go to the right half (50%), win-pgup toggle half size top and win-pgdown toggle half-size bottom.

Then I can assemble the windows very precisely with just the keyboard (full screen, half screen, quarter screen, one-third of a screen, one-sixth of a screen) both on the laptop display and the external wide screen, while keeping the full convenience of normal titlebars and mouse operations to reposition windows by hand if needed.

Add to that some custom scripting to make win-left and win-right move between physical screen, and you get a tiling solution that do not require any specific window manager.

Of course, space taken by the title bars might be a problem, but with Mica and the like (more generally, titlebar moving from "full of wasted empty spaces to "where tabs are shown", like Edge now does), I think tiling WM are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Yes it probably means european as in the legal sense (where it's registered).

As for the last question, that doesn't mean you're an european alternative, you just do what you mentioned: either don't violate or are compliant with the EU policies.The website is probably meant for people who want to use services from inside the EU.

However, this needs to be reminded: if the EU wants to keep this dream of promoting tech development, it needs to look itself in the mirror when it comes to supporting/not supressing entrepreneurs with shitty legislation. They won't do it obviously, but the discussion needs to keep happening. Right now you still have the vast majority of old "boomers" that don't understand the way in which the whole pipeline works, the second biggest group is right out activists who frankly exaggerate when talking about technology(and it mostly has nothing to do with tech regulation/support but forcing tech into their own ideology) and the third group is probably the least popular one, with sensible people who understand you cannot regulate because that suppresses development, but at the same time recognize values and rights needs to be adapted to this medium, while being individual-focused.

There was a post a few weeks ago whose comments had discussion about whether video learning was useful or worked better for some people than textual learning. I saw a lot of people claiming that they enjoyed videos more and learned more from them...but, as the linked study shows, enjoyment doesn't imply learning effectiveness (if anything, there's a negative correlation).
The real answer is "no one knows", but my intuition would be that you wouldn't expect them to be particularly harmful.

One of the advantages of consuming a novel food source like plastic is a relative lack of competition; this means you wouldn't expect there to be a lot of benefit for producing toxins to kill off competitors for your foodstuff.

(For an analogous case, the microorganisms that can grow on maple syrup don't tend to produce toxins; there's not much of a need when their food will kill most bacteria.)
Eh, my mother has always spoken of stomach bugs and she's always known they weren't caused by insects. Her father was a botanist and her mother a geologist, so she grew up in closed proximity to people who spent a lot of time talking about the natural science. Likewise she knows that insect bugs aren't "true bugs" and that jellyfish and starfish are not jelly, fish, or stars.
Do you have any concrete examples that you're thinking of?

In particular, I found that having to include all the fields is kind of a PITA compared to AR. I also just find the mental model of an AR object to be really easy to think about in terms of the simple cases. Before save, after save, accessors, and just having methods available on the object all seem really intuitive compared to changesets. Not that I didn't figure those out in short order, they just seemed a bit clumsier. But I am not super deep into Ecto, either, so maybe I'm missing some places where it shines.

TLDR (Too long, didn't read/watch):

What is aspiration? It is the pulling back of the plunger of a syringe (for 5–10 seconds) prior to injecting a vaccine. Aspiration is meant to ensure that the syringe needle tip is located at the right muscle location (an intramuscular injection), and has not accidentally punctured a blood vessel.

In this video, Danish Professor Niels Høiby discusses aspiration and how the Danish authorities amended their advice in March 2021 to require aspiration when administering vaccines.

Also discussed is the evidence that vaccine complications (in some cases) have been caused by vaccines mistakenly injected into a blood vessel. In other words, the lack of aspiration has caused vaccine complications.

The Professor compares data from Norway (which does not require aspiration) and Denmark (which does require aspiration). Norway has vaccine complications 3 times higher than Denmark. Could aspiration (or lack of it) be a reason for the differences between the two countries?

Many countries, including the US and the UK, do not require aspiration when the COVID vaccines are administered. Should all countries mandate aspiration when injecting COVID vaccines? (The video concludes with an emphatic 'yes'.)
Genuinely curious why you think this is pointless?
In Sweden we have a surplus of electric power in the northen parts (with lots of hydro). The power grid can't handle more exports.

That said - the surplus will not last forever. We have companies moving there quickly, including facebook but also car battery manufacturers and also all-electric iron production initiatives.

In theory, the US is a federation of sovereign states (i.e., the federal government is a creature of the states, states are not supposed to be merely political subdivisions of the central government). Domestic affairs are supposed to be largely the realm of the states, with the Feds responsible for foreign affairs.

Which is why the federal government uses federal funding for roads, health care, welfare, etc., to coerce states to do what it wants domestically, rather than just dictating to them directly.

The banks fixing it most certainly was not the point of the article, as the mention of banks correcting his balances consists of two lines. It also implies he was not made whole fully, but does not explain why.

And what really are the telcos supposed to do here? Banks are attempting to use them to provide security properties they never offered, and most likely can't offer due to their group-project technical architecture. Even if telcos completely secure the SIM reissuing process, then criminal gangs just buy someone who has access to a phone switch.

Banks could very well just not implement snake oil "2FA". For example, they could ship each customer a hardware security token, and require password resets be done in person at a branch. Or they can just keep shouldering the current level of fraud as they seem perfectly content to do. The entire problem has been created by the banks, and this narrative attempting to shift blame onto telcos is counterproductive.

Interesting how the three separate R/G/B images are taken independently a few ~seconds~ milliseconds apart, with a different color filter placed over the image sensor.

I assume this is to maximize resolution, since no Bayer interpolation [0] is needed to demosaic the output of a traditional image sensor that integrates the color filters onto the sensor pixels themselves. As these satellites are not intended to photograph things in motion, the color channel alignment artifacts seen here are a rare, small price to pay for vastly improved resolution and absence of demosaicing artifacts.
