> Do you know by chance if there are similar companies (complex engineering, with physics, maths, chemistry, computer science, ...) that are located in Switzerland?

I've only worked with their products and not a whole lot with the people but Sensirion [0] is very close to Zürich and is ranked one of the best employers in Switzerland while seemingly being at the intersection of the things it seems you're interested in.

Switzerland is also full of manufacturing equipment suppliers (e.g. Schaublin and GF Machining Solutions, the entire "Watch Valley") and manufacturing is full of intersections between physics/maths/chemistry/software engineering.

Plus there's the pharmaceutical companies.

For a small country, I think Switzerland is about the best place for you to be.

Sometimes it's not all just about the monetary amount. Someone choosing to use the threat of violence or death on a single individual one time to even take as little as $20 doesn't belong in a society.

Even if you're lying to trick some companies and investors to give you millions you're still not as evil or dangerous to society as the person who chooses to terrorize individuals for their gain. The actions are what matters.

In my opinion "The Small Web" should be
"Microsoft Frontpage"ish" paired with
one button publishes.

Should give the user the option of
hosting it with a wide variety of vendors
from shared hosting, something like Netlify,
and several like GeoCities.
or for advanced users self-publish on a computer they have.

To make it easy for the common person to post
what they want on the web.

Involving Javascript, Hugo, an abstraction on Hugo,
a database, JavaScript frameworks is just yet
another tech stack accessible only to full stack
or front-end programmers.
(or whoever has the necessary skills.

These people should already have all the information
and ability to make their own website and host it
wherever they want. They do not require help to
solve it.

Unfortunately not, it was just something I remember hearing/reading about back when N64s were somewhat relevant... I've had a look around but I can't find anything to back it up so maybe it was just an urban legend.
It's not that simple, for starters 'the a is silent' isn't really right, because it's just a modern rendering of æ, there is no 'a' (or 'e') really.

Secondly, æ pronunciation differs depending on etymology (here, Latin's borrowing from Greek).

Thirdly, the (ancient) Greek pronunciation changed over time anyway. So how far back do you want to go for 'original' and 'correct'?

I think that there are two components in your argument, the personal harm element and social policing. The question for me is what responsibility and therefore forefit there should be on an individual for the social element. Interestingly it seems to me that the more libertarian folks are the harsher their view of punitive measures for social enforcement seems.

I don't think it is fair to blame the tool for the mistakes of the operator. I feel like the real issue is that demand for software developers and specifically web developers is higher than than supply. Which leads to a situation where anyone who can put pixels on the screen, with at least some degree of reliability, will be hired and will put pixels on the screen. And they will choose whatever tool there is.

Another issue is that if look through job postings carefully, you will see the pattern there where framework knoweledge is valued above everything else.
It is "React Frontend Developer" or "Vue Frontend Developer", not just "Frontend developer who is capable to pickup whatever technology we use".

There are reasons for that, of course, but it is hard not to see that this approach will likely skew hiring into looking for a specific knowledge in candidates. And candidates are going along with a path of the least resistance and learning stuff they need to work with backwards.

Pronouncing the 'b' in debt is just about impossible for anyone with an intelligible English accent. You have to shove a vowel in there which would likely result in 'debit', a different but related word that could create potential subtle and disastrous misunderstandings. Even if it were non-native speaker saying 'debit' when they meant 'debt' to another non-native speaker.

Maybe it'd be better to spell it 'degt'. Those consonants almost work smashed together, and 'deggit' or 'decked' would be confusing enough to get clarified.

edit: maybe people pronounce it like 'depth' with the 'th' replaced with a 't'?
I heard, there are actual cheats around, too.

> So, it's unbelievable how no such solution existed before

I think a lot of folks solved this problem at the application level using background workers or job processing services.

For example, Celery with Python or Sidekiq with Ruby has had recurring job support for a really long time. Celery supported this since 2010. You could run distributed jobs (recurring or not) this way without using cron directly or requiring a custom DB extension.

IMO it feels much more natural to solve this problem at the app level with a background worker since you can run any task you want, not just DB queries. This also has the added benefit of letting you use your DB library of choice (ORM, etc.) since you can run any code you want within the job.
Q32-17 may have 32 cores, may have 45W TDP and may have whooping 128 pcie 4.0 lanes but it is still only 1.7GHz.

What this means in practice is that this will heavily depend on the type of load you are running. A lot of workstation type loads just can't make use of 32 threads and on that CPU it will have to just to offset for the slower single core performance.
Wouldn’t that make the US an Italian bastion?
Ooh, this does remind me that I need to figure out mass-culture and highbrow design values before modernism, since I indeed might apply modern thinking where it doesn't belong, sometimes. I vaguely know that it was ‘more stuff = rich’ in the middle ages, leading to the ridiculous outfits of the aristocracy, but not sure when it switched to pure modernist ‘lots of empty space = rich’ (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/87/56/678756c714c2bd405964...).

Hi, lumost - Happy New Year!

Thanks for taking the time to test out the app. Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. In answer to your questions:

0) In short, unless you volunteer to share data - to get a discount or to use the free version - no data is shared (for your company test, simply use a Trial of the Starter version and you should be good to go).

We do track (anonymous) UI clicks, essentially to make sure the app is working. If this is prohibiting you from a broader pilot, contact me and we'll figure something out.

1) "Integration" with video conferencing currently relies on screen sharing: so.. it supports all tools! We are working on a few platform-specific integrations and would love your feedback here.

2) The primary use case is board (whiteboard, blackboard, flipchart, etc.) sharing - usually via a laptop or some external camera. We will be supporting a mobile version but to do it justice we'll need to release some apps. The amount of real-time processing going on already is quite ambitious; adding a useful image stabilization or surface detection to be executed in a browser has proven too heavy for most devices. That said, we may release a thinned-down version for mobile capturing before we do the apps (waiting on some POCs to inform this).

To sum up, for your broader test, I'd recommend:
- using the Trial (of the Starter version)
- using a laptop (or external cam) pointed at a whiteboard

And contact me at "marcin" [at] sharetheboard.com if you have any special requests or follow-ups. Would love to get feedback from your team!
The default and recommended way of comparing strings in .NET is with ordinal comparison. It is just some functions that use CurrentCulture instead for some reason. We are also talking about Unicode strings here so you can compare strings in any language.

agile with lowercase ‘a’ was defined for software development (https://agilemanifesto.org/), so you cannot blame it for not applying fully to hardware development.

The manifesto is extremely flexible, though (it doesn’t mention standup or fixed-length sprints, for example), so I think it can work for hardware, too, but you likely have to make the sprints longer and be more flexible in lengthening or shortening them to match reality, maybe do more documentation, etc.

I think ”half year sprints” loosely is how the Apollo program was run (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions), certainly after Apollo 1, when they realized the schedule wasn’t the most important thing in the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1#Program_recovery: “We were too 'gung-ho' about the schedule and we blocked out all of the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we.”

The dogma of Agile with a capital “A”, on the other hand, IMO, doesn’t work for anything, be it software or hardware.
I understand that "week year" is basically a payroll creation, but I am a bit concerned about the last few days of 2021 were logged as 2022, and Jan 1st 2022 was even logged as 2023.

The last few days of 2021 logged as 2022 makes sense for payroll, but how the heck is Jan 1st 2022 put in the 2023 year?
I don't know what could have been done differently in my English learning journey, but it's quite odd that I'm still unable to pronounce extremely simple words, even after living years in the US and the UK.

There are many simple words that I only recently learned to pronounce correctly. For instance, "write" is pronounced as "right", and "vegetable" is not pronounced as "table".

In these particular cases, it's not that that I'm unable to generate the proper sounds, but I just never learned the correct pronunciation. Nobody ever corrected me until recently.

Are these hardware fixes just bandaids or are the actual architectural flaws really fixed? Because didn't other processors that did speculative execution besides Intel's also have similar vulnerabilities?

If it were just spelled 'det' the vowel would start jumping around. You'd have to go 'dett' or even 'dette' in order to avoid 'deet'.

I suppose if you want to narrowly define it in that way. But again, if figs are not fruits, then neither are the closely related mulberries. Pineapple is also not a fruit when defined like that.

I've definitely heard it as a tongue-in-cheek thing the way arborists complain about palm trees and call them "glorified grasses". That actually makes more sense to me though, as they're monocots.

-They're not fruit.

-What are they?

-They're a multiple fruit.

I'm not sure when it would be helpful to only consider fruits as coming from the ovary. There's other words for that and I don't understand why some like to define fruit in that way. Is there maybe a historical reason for it?

Edit: Wrote that they were aggregate fruits for some reason. Changed it to multiple fruits.
True, but almost everything is. The Book's entry on statements is like four paragraphs, while the entire rest of that chapter is about expressions.

For example all Rust's loops are expressions. This isn't very useful in many cases, but breaking an ordinary loop can yield a value, so e.g. you can loop checking all the integers until you find one you like, and then return it as the value of the loop. Nice.
As a South Korean, I'm glad that you've noticed this oddity of women depicted in South Korean media. It is indeed very controversial topic in South Korea. There are a group of people, heavily funded by government, who like to push a narative that Korea's gender equality is very low, and use it as a leverage for their political power. Such politics has affected Korean mass media a lot, and gender conflicts among South Korean men and women are the highest than ever. You can safely assume that such female characters as depiction of crooked gender-culture in South Korea.

As a simple proof, fertility rate of South Korea has dropped to 0.6. This is lower than countries in war; Korean men have to serve military for about 2 years in their 20s, and Korea is the least country pay respect to soldiers. I think may American would find astonishing how South Korean, especially female, like to make fun and deride them. During young mens serve military, female develop their own youth culture, and get used to a very twisted view on the society in terms of gender.

As a result, popular culture is largely divided in terms of the gender of the audiences. The OP's linked article mentions BTS as one of Korean pop music's success, but ironically, they are not that recognized among Koreans actually; It is a product of those media targetting female audiences.

I think this culture is not 'sustainable', if this is the right term to use. As a result of this political groups (which affects legislation) and weird, disgusting self-view and society-view of females, well, fertility rate is dropping at unprecedented rate.
And since you used the word, how about the 'b' in 'doubt'?
> it's funny that the suggested solution (spacers) are basically back to the old 1px transparent gif trick

Not really. The Stack component he uses as an example is actually just a thin abstraction over some reusable css. In plain html, it could look like

<section class="stack stack--space-3">
<article class="item">...</article>
<article class="item">...</article>
<article class="item">...</article>
</section>

There are no "spacer gifs" anywhere, it's only that you're lifting the margin responsibility to the parent. I may be wrong, but I think the whole stack concept is borrowed from SwiftUI.

That said, I've recently started using actual spacer divs that are more similar to the spacer gifs of yore, you mentioned. So I could do things like:

<section>
<div class="vertical-spacer-2"/>
<article class="item">...</article>
<div class="vertical-spacer-1"/>
<article class="item">...</article>
<div class="vertical-spacer-1"/>
<article class="item">...</article>
<div class="vertical-spacer-2"/>
</section>

Having been alive during the whole semantic web era, that feels very wrong to me. But it works like a charm to keep your code consistent with a design system which seems like a more noble endeavor than to write html that makes more sense to machines (which was, if I remember correctly, the objective of the semantic web).
