it's more than big enough to cause big problems / risk days of downtime to change, yea. 50GB is not big. 50TB is at least touching big - you can do it on one physical machine if needed, but it's the sort of scale that benefits from bigger-system architecture. 50PB would be world-class big, hitting exciting new problems every time they do something.
Some people have enough money and don't need more. It is hard to say what is the case.
Someone should tell that to the Kosovans who broke off from Serbia 14 years ago, to jubilation in the US and western Europe.
That's a very unfortunate phrasing. You may want to explicitly add "this study" in your first sentence.
Sure, most forms of education will increase the candidate pool in the long term. But in the short term there isn't much you can do to increase the candidate pool, you can only shift candidates from one company to another.
It is indeed an annexation. But it is also true that the majority of the inhabitants of Crimea are Russians and wanted to return to join Russia.
But all the consequences, not the cause. The reason, in my opinion, is the global conflict between the West and Russia. And, obviously, the fall of Russia is just a matter of time.
Despite the fact that they have weapons, in everyday life, all residents use technologies and products made in the west. Everyone has an iPhone, Laptop, Internet, car, etc. How can you win a conflict if every inhabitant of your country is completely dependent on technology, software, products and money created by a conditional "enemy"?
But you can't divide it by 12 since school is only in session for roughly 9 months. During summer session you're on your own for food and housing. That makes it more like $1666/month. That's nuts.
GTK is just a library, you can use it from any language it has bindings for.
Well, it's always the potential father that gets the news not one of the parents. Maybe it's not ideal to tell them once the child is born but it's still better than not telling them at all.
The prestige is all that matters. It’s really the only chance someone has to achieve class mobility; i.e. a kid from the working class might get into an Ivy League prestige program and rub elbows with the children of rich and powerful people, thus getting access to that network.

But if you’re going to a second-tier state university I really wonder if any of those students are getting a positive payback.
I'd imagine any truly immortal lifeform would eventually go insane unless it almost completely lacks intelligence. At which point, why bother? Unless we're talking about a machine and not a lifeform?
How's that going to fix the problem of expensive single family homes in walkable neighborhoods?
Well written and thorough article, but I can't help notice if this isn't just reverse engineering a standard MBA curriculum.

> Time pressure is also reported to be the most frequent external cause of unhappiness among developers.

> The inverted U-shaped relationship is one typical example of this, which means that time pressure increases efficiency up to a certain point, but after that increases in time pressure cause a decrease in efficiency

A good manager knows how to sustain just the right amount of pressure.
Nice, exactly what Linux needs the most - another desktop environment!

Sarcasm aside, it does look pretty good. But between indistinguishable window title bars and yet another settings app (wanna bet it will miss some config so users wil still need to run one of the others?), I think I'll pass. As far as I'm concerned this problem was solved ages ago, so I simply don't understand why the designers keep mucking with it. Maybe I'm just getting old. :-/
I think they meant in the tongue-in-cheek sense.
Even Homicide got to the basic fact that something like 60% or fewer cases are solved, and even less with a conviction.
Yeah so now I need to give my password to not just Venmo but also some startup called Plaid that I need to trust?

Doubly fuck no.
Seems clunky. I would also go for a wireless solution. Moreover, I would bring out two products. The headset and the box. The box only has to be powered on. Nothing fancy. It can be completely dedicated to the headset. And the headset itself is very light and optimized for pixels and receiving data as quick as possible. In that case you don't rely on any wifi in the house.

What might happen is that you developed a box on h.256 optimized for super low latencies. Sounds as valuable tech on its own. :-)
Why is this being pushed so hard with such flimsy evidence.
I honestly don't quite understand what System76s intentions with COSMIC are. To me it feels like a regression from the previous gnome and i've kicked their plugins to get a regular gnome back.

It just... Doesn't do anything my custom openbox or i3 setups in the past didn't do (imo better). Nor is it better at being gnome than gnome.

And now that i'm getting old and gotten used to stock gnome it just seems like it makes me change my workflow again for no good reason.
>I suppose that could be considered a good thing?

It depends. I personally find Youtube's recommendations to be useful, particularly at discovering new music and tutorials. But that requires putting in the effort to curate your account - subscribe, watch, smash that like button, all that stuff.
I don't see this as a problem. We certainly have a case of elite over production in the west. Where people study liberal arts and except a high paying job, and any job that they get will not ever pay the off the loan.

Obama explains it the best. (Ignore the right wing title its a good video of him on his first visit to Kenya)

>Difference, at least with regard to China/Taiwan, is timeline. Russia could likely steamroll much of Ukraine in a short period of time, and the US/NATO has few assets available for immediate response to hundreds of thousands of Russian troops. The conflict could potentially be over before any meaningful military response could be mounted outside of what Ukraine can muster (which compared to the Russians only goes so far).

It takes, what, 12-20 hours to get a bunch of planes in the air - at that point the Russian soldiers will be smashed unless they can keep control of the air. You can't win a air power immediately, but if it comes to a NATO fight Poland is right next to Ukraine and has some pretty nice equipment and no love for Russia.

OK, so as an example, based on your logic here, Muslim detention camps ("re-education centers") with forced abortions and sterilizations are either lies and propaganda OR they rise to the same level of cruelty as incarcerations and systemic racism in US? Having lived through systematic executions and genocide personally, believe me when I say there is a huge difference. I'm not entirely sure if you are making a purely misguided intellectual argument here or, truly, have an ulterior motive in making these assertions. In any case, and for what it's worth to you or anyone else bothering to read these comments and reactions, your comparisons are outside the realm of reality.
They also do in Germany, where they are suing. It's mentioned in the article I think - they try to get the money twice.

What Are NFTs?
Even if the kinda of abuse that women experience tend to be far worse in magnitude, men in many parts of america (including myself) are almost universally mutilated at birth. I believe that this is abuse, and the current culture of laughing at circumcision or "intactivists" has led me to agree that no one gives a shit about men or the issues that they experience.
My reason for not playing Portal mode was that I couldn’t find good servers with enough players and low ping in the Asia region (I managed to play a really good game of BF3 conquest by luck, but that was it.) Actually, I still want to play Battlefield 4 more than 2042, but am forced to play 2042 for the same reason. The sad reality of multiplayer shooters is that people flock to whatever is the latest and has the biggest number of players…
I really like the font. Reminds me of the vector fonts used in computers like the Tektronix storage tube-based ones.
"cheap state school"...

The state school where I live charges $18K/year for tuition and housing. That sure isn't cheap, especially for a mediocre school. Graduating with $72K in debt from this school would be a waste of money if you aren't doing a STEM program, and if you are, there are far better schools.
I'm not defending the industry or the case at all. I'm just saying that saying "youtube-dl is technically a browser", and letting the defense rest its case, is the kind of technically-correct nonsense that often gets written on HN but would never work in the real world.

This is pretty much the status quo for tethered VR - you're hooked up to a PC sitting on your desk. It works, but has major usability issues that IMO make it a complete long-term dead-end.

It removes any interactivity that require the user to move significantly. More than that, even for just typing/using peripherals the cable is constantly in the way.
How about a short cable to a box on your belt? Maybe a vest for extra tactile feedback. Or even just putting all the heavy stuff like PCBs, heatsinks, and batteries on the back of the strap to balance the screens and optics on the front.

My little Petzl headlamp doesn't mount the tiny 23g battery pack on the forehead due to balance and comfort concerns, I can't imagine the Simula fares any better!
It is limited to personal data though. So (if this decision holds) you cannot pass datatl outside the EU without explicit consent.
User agents aren't "technical gotchas", they're a fundamental concept of the internet we enjoy today. Browsers are merely one type of user agent.

If you make content available via HTTP, then obviously any HTTP client will be able to access it. It doesn't matter that they "meant" for the content to be accessed through browsers.

If they had a proprietary client that wasn't a browser, they wouldn't be complaining at all. So why does it matter? It's about control. It's the fact that user agents act in our behalf in order to do what we want and protect our interests. They want to force us to use something that acts on their behalf, does what they want and protects their interests.

This isn't about "human judges". Those are all paid for. Industry lobbyists literally create the laws that they blindly enforce.

No, this is about a stealthy war that's being fought for the control of our computers. There will never be peace between us. Either the entire copyright industry will be destroyed or we will lose the computing freedom we all currently enjoy and the entire concept of "hacking" will be a footnote of history.
Youtube could make the penalty much higher. They don't want to because they know that working with content creation corporations is good for business, and over deletion doesn't hurt their bottom line at all.
While one could, it's not an idiom I (native speaker) have ever heard. I've heard "very few", but never "quite few", and I can see why hearing the latter might cause the listener/reader to mistakenly auto-correct it as "quite _a_ few".

This is a dead end conversation that I've been involved in many times as an older developer:

a) Young people don't care because it doesn't affect them and the industry is mostly young

b) Companies don't care because no one can stop them if they discriminate surreptitiously

c) Older people have no recourse unless they can prove discrimination in court which is difficult. See b)

d) No one wants to think about getting old and what will happen to them, so it's not given any consideration or taken seriously because it makes people feel uncomfortable

e) young people are judgemental because they all think they're going to get rich in tech, so an older person needing a job must be a loser
ya, I wanted to ask the same question. there doesn't seem to be a mature gui lib for rust yet. what is this desktop based on?
Not unless they're dogmatic about the language they're developing in, they aren't. I ran into people ALL THE EFFING TIME as a recruiter who refused to train in another language or environment because they were going to make less money if they moved on, even as the market for their current skillset dwindled to nothing.

That's a completely different issue from having injured your back or shoulder or knee so often that you need surgical corrections just so you can remain functional at a resting state.
In California, you will be paying 30-40% in taxes (Federal, State, Social security etc) if you have a well paying tech job paying more than 250K USD. Even after those taxes, you will be taking home 60% of your pretax income, which is around 150K USD per year. After accounting for very high living costs (3/4K rent, 1/2K living expenses, insurance premiums), you can still have 20-30% of your pre-tax income.

Also, if you have heard crazy stories about American healthcare, rest assured that a tech job paying you 250K USD will also offer you very good insurance that you don't have to worry about it generally. I am an immigrant, did this exact calculation and am living a far better lifestyle than what I could ever afford in my home country.
Also GTK4 means they are still at the mercy of GNOME which changes APIs often and without consideration for third parties.

Wasn't the whole point of the project to emancipate themselves from GNOME? If they rely on GTK they will fail.
I can see 2022 being another almost Year Of Linux on the Desktop. I wonder what dirty tricks big companies will pull, like Microsoft did when netbooks became a threat.

>Estimates are that 10-15% of children are from infidelity

Extremely Misleading, from the studies I've seen these high numbers are percentage of people seeking paternity tests, not from the general public as a whole. If you're seeking a paternity test you already are suspecting infidelity.

A better article: https://archive.ph/Cyixf#selection-595.0-595.247

"The vote in the employer mandate case was 6 to 3, with liberal justices in dissent. The vote in the health care case was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh joining the liberal justices to form a majority. ... the court’s conservative majority seemed doubtful that the administration had congressional authorization to impose the requirements."

Does anyone have a guess as to how a vote by Congress to authorize OSHA vaccine mandates would fair? Would it be one of the purely partisan issues, like Build Back Better and the voting legislation? I suppose that the fact that it hasn't already passed is evidence that it wouldn't.
It was about the use of personal data specifically, not jus tin general a use of US services. From the linked article (which seems to draw some broader fear-mongering conclusions not evidenced by the case it discusses):

It held that the mere use of a U.S.-based provider to collect IP addresses and user key data was an unlawful “transfer” because:

Per the Court of Justice of the European Union, IP addresses are personal data (the court also considered Cookiebot’s “user key” to be personal data).

Under the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, a U.S. cloud provider can be obligated to produce all data in its possession, custody, or control to U.S. agencies, irrespective of whether the data is stored in or outside the U.S.

This decision has a number of noteworthy implications. Among the more salient are:

The court never evaluated whether a “transfer” actually occurred. The decision assumes a “transfer” occurs even if data never leaves the EU, so long as the recipient of data may formally be subject to requests by non-EU authorities.
The major issue is the energy storage, not the power plant itself. The penalty of the battery mass scales far worse than a tank holding very energy dense rocket propellant.
Not only do some companies strictly have the policy regardless but also some people (like me) want a consistent challenge as in going from say security research to hardware to web dev.

I don't advocate for a free ride nor am I saying the tests are hard (they really aren't), just that they have a very weak correlation with building strong teams of the right people
This would be nice for creating vector fonts (.lff) for Librecad and/or solvespace.
Dudes who leave sexless marriages are really hurting their partner financially, emotionally, and mentally, so the idea that doing this is not "considering the woman" is asinine.
Can you please outline what your point is? Excess deaths in the U.S. align with these numbers. I don't think it is valuable to attempt the pedantry of "with" versus "from", when there is clearly some causation.
As a 46 year old I agree, but I'll say that most tradesmen I knew have either moved on to owning/managing or have switched careers. Overall they've done very well.

Also, IME, tradesmen always have the nicest houses regardless of income because they or someone they can trade with will do top quality work for barely any compensation.

Ignorant question: are solid-fueled rockets at all interesting, anymore? Do they have any advantages (e.g. simplicity of design) over the fancy throttle-able liquid-fueled engines?
Me too. I have a WiFi 6 router sitting on my desk with direct LOS to the headset and my machine is hardwired to ethernet and I have a really high quality network setup at home.

The experience with Oculus Link is pretty good - but I'm an outlier in my setup!

And yes, none of this is completely un-conquerable, but I'd argue unfixable without significant new hardware and standards. This is not a "just have to improve the software" problem.
> Our consciousness is emergent out of physical processes.

Whether that is true or not is actually irrelevant if you ask me. The real problem with parent's line of thinking is that no reasoning you apply to the computer cannot similarly be applied with exactly the same amount of validity to every person who isn't you. The distinction is therefore arbitrary and useless. If we accept that humans should be treated a certain way because they are conscious, then we must (at least) treat anything that gives the appearance of human-like consciousness with the same reverence.
The increased contagiousness of omicron makes it more important for people to get vaccinated.

The chances of hospitalization if you have omicron are lower than they were if you had another variant, and same with the chances of death, but the factor by which they are lower with omicron is quite a bit lower than the factor by which omicron is more contagious.

The net result is that omicron is greatly increasing the number of hospitalizations way past what they saw with delta, which is overloading hospitals in way too many places in the US.

I'm vaccinated and boosted, but that doesn't help much if I get in a car accident or have a heart attack and I can't get treatment because the hospitals are full of COVID patients.
Oh dear God, thank you.

I'm wondering if Putin is becoming paranoid of a possibly military coup and this is a way to keep the Russian military away from Moscow or some other related internal crisis. I'm honestly surprised that hasn't happened yet.

I currently work for the person who helped start US Videotel and I still haven't scratched much of the surface about all of it with him. Everything about Minitel and US Videotel reminds me of what was depicted in seasons 2 and 3 of Halt and Catch Fire. I always wondered if Minitel was their inspiration for the Mutiny software.
This article implies, but doesn't come right out and say, something that I strongly suspect: that producing an accurate (or even close-to accurate) software project estimate is a time-consuming, unpredictable task. The question nobody seems to be examining is whether or not the cost of doing a large, expensive up-front analysis that might take an arbitrary amount of time is less than the cost of just doing it concurrently with the software development itself.
