I am surprised that there is so little usage of decent scripting languages as configuration. Lua always seemed like it would have been perfect for that kind of thing, or Python, back a decade ago when Python was less... what it has turned into.

Yaml is just horrible; I've never had a good experience having to use it.
I'm answering in terms of what I know best. I, personally, don't see the point of supporting non-Windows desktops. User base isn't large enough for me to bother.
Aha, so if my D code doesn't care about text at all, I only need to worry about ubyte (or if I want them signed, byte) and char is irrelevant to me. That makes some sense.

Still it seems weird to me to separate the concerns "This byte isn't a valid UTF-8 code unit" and "This string isn't valid UTF-8". I don't know what flavour of error handling D has, but I can't conceive of too many places where I want to handle those cases differently, so if they're separate I have to do the same work twice.

Also, one very natural response to invalid UTF-8 is to emit U+FFFD (the replacement character �) but of course that doesn't fit into a UTF-8 code unit, so an API which takes a ubyte and gives back a char must error.

It's pretty terrible. I've feuded with more GNOME maintainers than one person should ever have to, and it always comes down to the same "well we're right and you're wrong" mentality that makes nobody happy. With blurry text in particular, a surprisingly large number of GNOME team members decided it wasn't an issue since the effect could be halfway mitigated with sandboxing, so none of them ever addressed it.

I can't use GTK4 or libadwaita confidently, as a developer. It's tooling that was designed from the ground-up to limit my capacity as a developer, and as such I refuse to write code with it or install it on my system, for that matter.
Thank you very much!

We don't have any lasers that could have an on influence a satellite at 350km, much less one that could do anything at 35,000km.

If you're suggesting a space based laser... we don't have any of those either, and it would be just as difficult (or easy) to launch a satellite that goes out to the orbit, latches on, and then dorbits it as it would be to move a satellite out to that location that would shine a laser on it.

That would also still have the satellite in that position which is the issue.

The issue is the size of the slot for geosynchronous orbit. They're 73km apart.

https://www.spacelegalissues.com/orbital-slots-and-space-con...

> Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) has long been recognised as prime, and scarce, real estate. Starting as a measure for spectrum management, the international community agreed in the 1960s to regulate the assignment of slots in the GEO belt through the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Today, any company or nation planning to launch a satellite to GEO must apply to the ITU for an orbital slot, and popular regions over North America, Europe, and eastern Asia have become so congested that few or no slots are left for new entrants to the market
Ohio has no parental leave laws, especially ones that provide women with automatic 6 to 8 weeks of disability leave for the period before and after childbirth.

California does. CA also has other protections beyond federal ones for breastfeeding and other pregnancy related accommodations, and gives employees the right to sit at work if they do not need to stand.

I would not raise my kids in a state outside of CA to WA and NJ to MA and IL just for this reason.

I used to type using the Dvorak layout when I was in high school. I gradually lost the ability to type in QWERTY at all. When I took the GRE I learned it would have to be in QWERTY, so I just switched back. I used QWERTY ever since.
I use a fairly ergonomic low profile split keyboard, and have no issues with my wrists, but I have some mild RSI in my index finger, near the knuckle joint. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this for a while, and haven't really found a solution, other than to switch to an alternative layout which is not as hard on the index finger. Anyone have a similar issue?
That is an excellent idea, added to the roadmap!
Take this thought experiment: imagine you're given the opportunity to purchase a crypto like BTC for say 20 grands per BTC. Even if you don't believe in the business model of crypto, you would jump on the purchase (irreversible being a nice feature) then you'll immediately flip it (liquidate it) on the open market, for a nice profit, right?

Now think about the general case: you pay a bit less than the going price in the rest of the world, to take into account the problem of "where the cash come from" (certainly not a difficulty for a country with as large as Argentina, with multiple land borders and sea ports) and price in the cost of solving this problem. Given the right price, you'll find clients, as every trade needs a counterparty, for a mutually beneficial exchange.

And you then have the answer to your question.
But Google isn't doing that. You aren't losing access to your purchases. So I'm still a little puzzled as to the grounds for this suit.

neat! I recently had my teeth scanned for a night orthotic and decided that I needed a 3D print of my teeth. It was challenging walking the office staff how to get me the STL but once I did they were amazed when I walked in with a print of my teeth! (I don't really know why they were amazed, I mean, that's what the equipment was purchased to do was make scans of teeth. But their reaction was noteworthy!)
> do people still think acting like the 'office asshole' commands respect?

Having been at the sharp end of an office bully, I can say that some don't even realise that they are being an asshole. The thought doesn't even cross their mind (they think they are acting normally).

The Midwest makes some sense for building fabs. The two largest inputs are power and water - and the midwest has plenty of both. There's a small but thriving fab community in Minneapolis.

Hilariously, there isn't much in the way of fabs left in Silicon Valley. Those aren't suitable for any production. The last high volume fab to close was the Linear Technologies fab out in Milpitas.

There's a Raytheon fab in Lompoc CA, a few defense related fabs down in Santa Barbara and LA, but that's about it.

The major semiconductor manufacturing states in the US right now are Arizona, Texas, Oregon and NY. It's nice to see Ohio joining the list. Hopefully other companies will follow Intel's lead here.
I concur that the GP was a bit dramatic in their use of the term "Slave," but they raised a valid point.

Voter suppression is a real thing in the United States. It's a strategy often used to hold and retain power by the minority (often richer, privileged) party

See https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-vot...

> Suppression efforts range from the seemingly unobstructive, like strict voter ID laws and cuts to early voting, to mass purges of voter rolls and systemic disenfranchisement. These measures disproportionately impact people of color, students, the elderly, and people with disabilities. And long before election cycles even begin, legislators redraw district lines that determine the weight of your vote.

" The reason I ask is because we can fix bugs "..

These problems can be fixed, but they require effort by all citizens to vote and put pressure to make voting equitable.

I looked into .Net GUIs about a year ago and it seemed like Avalonia and Project Uno were the most interesting contenders, with Uno getting the edge for me because it had a reasonable looking web deployment story (which I suppose doesn't matter in this case). My info may be out-of-date though, and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on those two, if you've looked at them.
I had several life-changing events occur early 2021, which led to me not using any telephone services, whatsoever (until late 2021). Instead, I purchased a one-way pager (Pagers Direct) on a two-year contract, for <$9/month.

When I tell people to "page me," I get one of two responses:

A) "What does that mean?!" (typically younger folks, less than thirty), or

B) [Initial Disbelief] "They still make those?!" (typically older folks, above forty)

I absolutely love it; of course this affects my social life... except that I run with an extremely small crowd, in a particularly small subset of my mid-sized US town.

I now have access to my cell phone, but it never leaves my house (used essentially as a landline, because it costs less than a local landline); I will BLOCK my Caller ID when making phone calls to anybody (outside a few trusted contacts), and I never hand out my new cell phone number (and disabled my decades-used phone#).

To each his own — I am mid-30s, and used to be 1337 ... never really understood cell phone culture, and am happily marching to my own beat!
Honestly, it should be.

AWS is much better at the dumb, commodity services like s3, ec2 and rds (that are actually pretty smart) than they are at something like redshift, sagemaker or similar.
WASM is a compiler target. It was designed for fast compilation into native instructions with deterministic effects.

LLVM-IR has been considered, but has never been suitable as a compiler target. Code is targeted for a specific arch even before it becomes translated into LLVM-IR. Undefined behaviour in C is undefined also in LLVM-IR, and a portable compiler target can not have any. It is also changing too much between compiler versions (which is a reason why SPIR moved away from it).

BTW. It seems that in the long-term, the use of LLVM-IR in compilers is going to be replaced with MLIR (Multi-level IR).

This position is how I've always typed, but I still had RSI problems. I switched to Dvorak with great, personal, success. If you watch a video of someone typing on Dvorak vs Qwerty [1], it's clear that the experience is very very different with any of these reduced motion layouts.

That is the only way Intel can put up some half decent MT benchmark numbers without blowing out the die cost, since Intel’s P core is way too big and power hungry for the amount of performance it dishes out. On an ultraportable the power consumption is really unacceptable.

> Colomak favor the right hand ... asymmetry.

Has anyone explored the effects of duplicating keys across hands?
I switched to Dvorak in my 20's. I don't think i got faster, but my right-hand wrist which would irritate me and was one reason for the switch, definitely was more comfortable after, and hasn't given me any problems since.

That said, switching was a huge pain in the ass.... like horrible for the first two months, and i promised myself i'd keep typing in both. However, i eventually lost the ability to type in qwerty, after about two years, but i honestly don't care, i genuinely love Dvorak.

The biggest concern most people probably don't think about is keeping shortcuts like CTRL+X/C/V/S/F, which apple thankfully has a layout for "Dvorak-CMD-Qwerty." The shortcuts are very obviously put where they are so you can toggle them quickly. Many programs don't account for this layout, which is why I wrote an Intellij IDE key mapping for it: https://github.com/scoofy/Intellij-IDEA-Dvorak-QwertyCMD-key...

The layouts that i think don't get enough love, are the one-handed dvorak layouts designed for amputees.

The idea that, in the end, the author suggests yet another standard seems a bit absurd to me.
I think the real underlying cause is lack of user control and non-consensual changes by the developers.

This is a problem with proprietary software that will never go away, and why I switched away, first from Windows, and then from Mac.

On a proprietary OS, you are never the owner, you are a tenant at best.

At first, the "polish" of these platforms with millions of currency behind them had appeal, but it was soon overshadowed by changes I never asked for being forced on me.

My computer is my work station. Imagine if you have a woodworking table with all your tools and materials laid out, and you go to bed, come back in the morning, and everything has been rearranged, some of your tools replaced with other tools, some taken away altogether because you "don't need them". It would be a very rude thing of someone to do, and it would be a non-starter.

Yet in the computer world, I guess because it is so new, and people don't know any better, it is accepted all the time.

But I don't accept it anymore. I tried Debian and Ubuntu and switched away when they did the same thing. Then I tried another distro,and another, distro after distro, until I found one which never pulled this type of crap on me, and I'm sticking with it.

It's not perfect, but it stays the way I've adjusted it, and never forces any changes on me. I am finally at peace on my computer.

I'm glad you brought up Wise! I love Wise and use it frequently. However, there are some jurisdictions it simply doesn't work for. For example, there is currently no way for a US company to use Wise Business to pay a Brazilian contractor.

This is not because such payments are illegal, but rather because the Brazilian financial system has poor norms and poor rule-of-law: https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/16/wise-accuses-former-brazil....
Love the way you phrased that because I'm often asked by my wife and friends why I spend time on highly technical personal projects and my response is usually the same: you relax by solving sudokus and those personal projects are my equivalent of a sudoku.

So back to the days where you could make a Google account with any email address before gapps exited. It was such a mess once domains where moved to gapps to know if it was a legacy account or gapps account. In fact I will still get prompted for some addresses.

Those are excellent examples, though there's some debate about whether iridescence and rugate filters and stuff like that are "metamaterials". I think it's partly a question of wanting metamaterials to be "new and hot", which the Beatles are not, however melodic their carapaces.

You can get macroscopically-structured electromagnetic metamaterials, though; some are pictured on the Wikipedia page. It's just that they're active at microwave wavelengths or longer instead of visible wavelengths.

I suppose .Net client has everything that typical Kafka app needs. Just not everything that management app would need.

Btw. that's also the problem with all other queuing systems we support. Their APIs are made to support Send/Receive scenarios, what these systems are built for in the first place. They rarely support "delete message in the middle of the queue", and never "replace message" or "insert message at arbitrary position". I guess API authors are worried that such functionality would lead to apps mistreating queues as a kind database, which is not intended use case.

However that sort of functionality is often needed when you're troubleshooting and fixing a problem. It's not like everything always just works. In reality things go wrong, message format changes, invalid data goes into queue, etc. And then we have to abuse existing API and/or give only subset of useful features to users.

About combining Java or something else - that might be possible from technical point of view, but remember this is a desktop app which ships as an installer. Not an environment you'd set up on the server. We would have to include another runtime and make sure it works correctly in different scenarios on end-user machines.

People usually don't call things like Vantablack metamaterials because they're too disordered. Also that would commit them to calling ordinary lampblack a metamaterial, and lampblack isn't cool.
SDK design problems not unique to AWS. Companies that startup dedicated language SDK teams eventually find those teams needing to justify their existence so you end with needless new versions. Some better than others
Probably more like the old legacy Google accounts that you could make with any email address before gapps exited.
It's odd how many people died today. Meatloaf, Louis Anderson and the oldest woman in the United States Thelma Sutcliffe.
Commodity in usage, yes, but not on the service side. Doing S3 properly is really hard, having a service with a 'compatible API' doesn't make it the same as S3. Same goes for EKS (Yes, it looks and smells like a normal API server) and RDS.

If you never use anything that ties this stuff together (like IAM), then there is practically no point in using AWS at all, it's way too expensive to use as a 'dumb pipe'.

That said, I'm personally a fan of using things that would technically also work outside of AWS, but not shying away from the AWS-specific optimisations. I'm not going to use Kubernetes on AWS without EKS for example (plain EC2). Or Kubernetes on AWS without the Amazon's CNI, that's not a thing I'd enjoy in production either.

When managed Kafka was announced, that was another great example of "nice, now I don't have to mess with EC2 node contents anymore", but I still can if I want to, including outside of AWS.

The most AWS-native thing (or two things) that make most other offerings not work out all that great is the integrated IAM and Security Groups. Kludging those together with some crappy port to AD or NSX is just a waste of time and sanity.
And in a very favorable neighborhood. You can get much cheaper rent in an "up and coming" neighborhood.

Uhm, no. Nvidia GPUs are not the vast majority. Unless you are gamer and talking about other gamers, then it might be right, but otherwise, Intel is the wast majority and Intel has had Wayland working fine since forever now.

Intel is not alone in this, either. My AMD Vega64 was running Wayland fine since I bought it in 2017. So if your Nvidia has a problem, ask the people you paid your money to, when they want to solve it.
