I think a very reliable method here would be to use Gamepass for trying games out and see what the landscape looks like without having to scout around much and also not paying just to try things. We used to do this with demos but they became very impopular and really, if you can play a full game instead of a demo, isn't that better?

So you get access to these games to try them, and if you really, really like them, you can buy them when they go on sale for cheap on Steam.

I don't use Gamepass because it somehow has eluded me, but it seems like a good deal even if I tend to buy games for cheap on Steam.
Rubbish. With the exception of Taki and maybe Young and Liddle, most Spectator writers and editors are moderate middle-of-the-road Cameron-type conservatives—they're basically Blairites.
No, switching creates risks. Risk of configuration errors leading to downtimes or vulnerabilities, risk of unexpected delays in deployment, risk of running into bugs that the users are unaware of.

Many software projects fail by facing delays due to excessive complexity and tech churn. Moving carefully helps.
I typically don't grieve like other people. Mainly it's due to me having very low empathy. I've lost family members, and close friends, and I've not cried over it.[1]

I do feel slightly sad that they've 'gone away' but in the same way as if they'd moved to the other side of the world, and thus I'd lost contact with them.

My point is, we all feel things differently. Accept that your process is is how 'you do it' and it's OK for that to be unlike the people around you.

[1] The only time I actually cried, was at a friends funeral, and at the end of the service we had the chance to walk up to the coffin and say a few private words to the deceased. When it was my turn, I barely managed to say anything before I totally lost it and broke down in tears. Took me by surprise to be honest - I don't know why it happened, and it's never happened since.
> Most of that timber turns back into CO2 in 100 years or so. Tree-planting is not a long-term solution to excess atmospheric carbon.

Do you have links to more reading on that? This is the first time I've heard of this particular reason why it might not work.
Perhaps could be phrased as “more easily than other users”? Dropping in as a quest 2 user to add anecdata of not feeling sick in most games or for extended periods of time. I’m not used to moving around smoothly using controllers though, flying a racing drone is kind of similar in being vaguely disturbing to begin with.

Quest 2 sales over the last few weeks would hint this might not be a fad, though.
> The more I have seen of big tech companies, the more I think they need to split up from time to time. Complacency and ossification emerge as a product of scale.

This is highly anecdotal. Apple got to where they are with M1 by vertically interesting which wouldn't be possible if they broke up like you said.

Rather, in a pipeline the bottleneck determines throughout - Intel's bottleneck is manufacturing and that's what they need to fix or cut out. We have no reason to believe their design with TSMC chips won't best AMD it even apple.
Modifying the HTML via a browser extension makes creates a derivative work that Axel Springer was claiming infringes on their rights as the original author.

Creating the derivative work in itself would indeed not be a problem but further distribution of that derived work would be a problem. Axel Springer seems to have been arguing that it is the extension developer that is responsible for "distributing" that modified work to the user.

The court seems to have decided that instead this falls under what in US law would probably be called fair use that happens after the user has received a copy of the content instead of a new content that you (using the extension) created. All very logical of course but the law is not always that logical.

>On the technical side, he was able to hack the low security password of a SuperAdmin, and gained access to an unsecured script, which was available only for SuperAdmins. This script allowed him to perform SQL injections and extract the data.

It can be tempting to forgo the same security considerations when programming backend applications which aren't ordinarily accessible to the public. I guess this is a reminder why the temptation must be resisted.

Since you're asking about building a career, I'd give the answer you weren't asking for: build domain expertise.

The intersection of software and domain expertise is highly prized. So it takes chips off the table on whichever bet you make around tech stacks.
Same experience with a bunch of Aquantia AQC-107 (ASUS XG-C100C). Had to remove them from a Linux server, it just won't work and botch IPv6 traffic (especially routing advertisement notices ?!). Got Intel x550t2 and all the issues miraculously disappeared.
>If you do get a reaction, well you probably would’ve gotten at least as severe reaction from covid anyways.

What's the logic behind this?

Following a natural infection there would be a slow ramp-up in the presence of the virus and its spike protein in contrast to receiving the (mRNA) vaccine where a large amount of spike protein is expressed in a very short time frame. The latter is more of a shock to one's immune system.
I imagine it would need to be government funded, not for private enterprise. If the order of magnitude of the costs they mention are to be taken at face value ($80M/year), for the entire world, it would be absolutely trivial for the government to fund, so I don't think expect any commercial enterprise would necessarily be forced to align this with its mission.
> The phenomena and effects of airblast, ground shock, thermal radiation,
cratering and ejecta, and debris cloud and deposition from the eruption of
Mt St. Helens were compared to those that would result from a nuclear explosion to determine if phenomena or effects were analogous and thus might provide
useful data for military nuclear weapon effects studies. It is concluded that
the phenomena are not analogous. In particular, airblast destruction was
caused by clouds of ash driven by subsonic winds, rather than by a supersonic
shock wave that would be the-damage mechanism of a nuclear explosion. Because of the lack of analogy between the eruption and nuclear explosion phenomena, it
appears questionable that any of the effects are analogous; therefore, it is
unlikely that anything more of military interest can be gained from studying
the effects of the eruption. However, key contacts for further information on
the eruption and the associated research studies are given. The comparison of
the eruption of Mt. St. Helens to the explosion of a 10- to 20-megaton nuclear
weapon is misleading. Such comparisons serve no useful purpose and should be
avoided.

Nah Apple has had plenty of hardware issues over the years.

However Jobs was a master presenter and showman, and extremely anal about getting L&F just right (go check the calculator story, or recounting of his preparation for keynotes — you can also see how things broke down as soon as they started bringing in third parties, or after Jobs’ death).

Keeping things under as tight a wrap as possible with extreme OPSEC[0] is one of those things Apple has always done, and it’s entirely unsurprising that Jobs would get very cross about a supplier fucking that up.

[0] I expect detrimentally so at times, Apple has long been extremely compartmentalised — at least under Jobs; go check the history of the iPhone for flagrant examples of that where you’d just see colleagues disappear into unknown voids and HIG went full SCP
I see. Pre-Covid I used to have my phone with me more often, with the whole WFH situation I don't really see a reason to use it since I have other devices in my home that give me a better experience (larger screen, physical keyboard, good speakers etc).
That's because of a lack of meaningful enforcement. Most dark patterns and annoyances we associated to the GDPR are illegal but until the law is enforced with the "4% of global revenue fines" nothing will change.
I wasnt talking about the amount of effort (100% or sporadically) or the usefulness. Just simply what is done, on a more abstract level.
For phone apps, you may like https://trackercontrol.org/. It's mostly set and forget and blocks 99% of tracking by default in my experience.

> Unironically Yes!!!! Egypt do! Happy you see how mind boggling it is that there are others who deny access to the Gaza strip. (Again, because of their gov - Hamas)

No, Egypt has closed its own border with Gaza, but it is not enforcing a naval or airspace blockade, which Israel is.

> Who said that? It was during a war. It is because Israel has stronger weapons. A war that shouldn't ever started. Why did Hamas start it? You are really dodging the question here...

Israel occupied Egyptian/Jordanian territories. Hamas is a resistance movement of the people living in these territories under Israeli military occupation. The war was between Israel and Egypt, and it has long since ended. Hamas didn't start anything - they were being oppressed by Israel occupation forces and they fought back.

Saying Hamas started a war is like saying that, should Ukrainian citizens of Crimea started attacking Russia, they are "starting a war" against Russia. People who live under military occupation have a right to defend themselves from their occupiers. The occupiers need only leave if they want this resistance to stop.

> They gave them military control and government control. So you are wrong, read Wikipedia again. Otherwise how do they get rockets if the are so limited? Looks like they could get anything but choses to get terror related assets... which again. Is their fault.

Palestine is still under embargo. That resistance fighters need weapons as well as other supplies is normal. The fact that the embargo is not perfect doesn't prove that it doesn't exist. And rockets aren't the only goods being smuggled past the embargo - there is also medicine, food, construction materials etc.

But make no mistake - had there not been an armed resistance movement defending the rights of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, the current limited independence would never have been reached.

> WG14 could naturally work into something like SDS for strings and arrays, but of course that is out of their goals to ever do that.

Maybe it is, but even if it were, sds strings are a poor choice. I used them extensively in a private project.

1. Typedef'ing `sds` to a pointer type. This leaves no indication to the reader of code that any `sds` typed variable needs an `sdsfree`. IOW, for every other standard type it is clear when the data object needs a `free`, `fclose`, etc. This is a big deal, it's difficult to change the typedef for sds due to the way it returns pointers.

2. Not compatible with current string functions, strike 1: storing binary data in the strings, like the nul character makes it silently lose data when used with current string functions that accept `const char *`. This is a very big deal!

3. Not compatible with current string functions, strike 2: an sds string is only compatible with current string functions that take a `const char *`. This isn't such a big deal (for example, it provides a replacement for `strtok` as the standard `sds` type won't work for `strtok`) but it's unnecessarily incompatible.

4. With the current way it's exposed to a caller, you cannot use `const sds` variables anywhere, which removes a lot of compiler-checking. Trying to use `const` on any sds variable is pointless as you get none of the error-checking.

While sds solves many problems with raw C strings, those problems can be solved by adding standard library functions that work with existing C strings. In addition, it adds a few more problems of its own.
I have studied satellite images of the prison complexes going up all over Xinjiang. The US now keeps many more US citizens in captivity than China does, with an even higher multiplier per-capita, but I don't think we are harvesting them for transplant organs.

The CCP's massive project to keep mention of Xinjiang out of popular media speaks volumes. They know what they are hiding.

US is not going to sponsor guerrillas in Xinjiang, under any circumstances. It would suffice for CCP to lay off them, which it could do with no repercussions. Now that we can implant de-antigenized pigs' organs, their market will dry up soon anyway.

> That NGINX is the web server identified up front doesn't mean as much as it might because of this architectural construct.

The exact same argument can be made to explain why nginx is undercounted. A lot of setups will run nginx behind proxies, so you'll count a proxy: a Varnish, a single nginx, cloudfront servers (are they running nginx?) while in reality there may be many nginx-es running.

Nonetheless: nginx is a gift and thanks go out to Igor, regardless of how good the spiders can count the number nginx instances.

Shocking comment!
> If you don’t know why it matters how many diapers there have been in the last 24 hours and what kind of mess was in there, along with how often and how much milk was consumed, you’ve obviously not been the primary caretaker of an infant recently.

I don't want to downplay your software and your effort but my wife and I raised two wonderful baby girls without any app tracking how many diapers we changed or how many poo they did. We only had to be a bit more "strict" on weight-gain tracking for the 1st one during her first 2 months or so because she was born quite small and we had some issues breastfeeding her at the beginning. I understand there might be situations where it is useful to track some data of the infant but I would say it's just if there is some underlying condition.
The article seems like marketing-speak for Google AutoML, the title did not match the tone of the article in my opinion. A little clickbaity.

I wish it was even possible on my Peloton tread.
So many of the comments here talk about using abundant solar energy as a solution to the atmosphric CO2 problem. But unfortunately, solar energy isn't even close to providing the energy we need for home-heating, transport and industry.

We have to start from where we are: we can't just warp into a future where Dyson Spheres are realistic. We have less than thirty years. I suspect it's actually already too late. Using solar to reduce Gallium, so we can use the Gallium to reduce CO2, while we continue burning hydrocarbons because the solar is all being used to reduce Gallium (or solve hashes), doesn't look to me like the way forward.
> Yeah, I completely agree. Vehicle manufacturers can't just come and change out the steering wheel and dashboard in your vehicle, for example.

Actually, they can. There was a huge airbag recall a few years ago, affecting maybe half a dozen automobile manufacturers because they all bought their airbags from the same supplier. In at least one case, the dash had to be modified in order to fit a replacement airbag because drop-in replacements could not be procured quickly without disrupting new car production. It would not surprise me if some of the cases also required modifying or replacing the steering wheel.
This is an interesting take.

The author is probably correct that only Pine could organise priority coherent sharable work on kernel drivers, telephony stack etc which would then benefit all distributions.

I guess distributions could club together to fund it but that's more complicated.

> The only thing I miss is an "add to bitwarden?" dialog when I sign up somewhere. Their docs say it exists but I've never managed to get it to appear :-)

I have seen this occasionally but it is fairly random and unreliable. And then sometimes it pops up for stuff I clearly don't want to save, like OTP.
Seems like they're saying that gamers would prefer wired to wifi, which I think is reasonable - it's not so much a bandwidth issue as a latency issue - wifi has higher latency, and higher variance than wired ethernet, especially if you get a crappy client joining and filling up the airtime with retry attempts. But maybe that's dominated by ISP variance for most.
