I'm not sure we're thinking about this the right way. What we want (and have) is:

A) a way to package any bit of functionality in a standardized way

B) run it in any environment.

Docker delivers both, although docker images are large (as they include their own OS) and (contrary to what the article claims) somewhat less efficient than running on bare metal.

Executable files provide A, but are specific to an operating system. They are however much smaller and make better use of the hosts resources as they don't require virtualization.

WASM delivers A for a subset of languages and B in so far as it runs in a browser and specific standalone runtimes.

These are certainly some attractive qualities, but it leaves me wondering: does it make sense to introduce yet another standard into the mix or wouldn't it be better to write a "Kubernetes for executables" rather than having the additional abstraction layer of WASM?

That’s not how accountability works. Clearly you’ve never been in this sort of situation where the prescribed action is very close to what will get you sued or killed.

Until people stop with “all cops” and stop painting all criminals as down-on-their-luck saints, we will stay this way.

This is no different than saying “all men are rapists” or “all women are gold diggers”.

This comment probably comes off as ignorant, but what is the point of BSD today? The only use I see is for ZFS because it is built in.
I still have regular dreams about not passing high school exams. Worse: in my dreams I have to study to pass for high school exams, and work my day job, and take care of the family at the same time. Because of the commitments outside of studying, in the dream I worry about not being able to study. Then I wake up.
The app upgrades were solid, but I missed the classic Windows 2000 look which you couldn't quite get with 7 without modifying system files.
HM Prison Belmarsh? I’m no fan of the U.K. government, especially because they didn’t even bother to tell Sweden he had been removed from the embassy even though Sweden’s existing case was why he was in there in the first place, but Belmarsh is neither a torture chamber nor even remotely comparable to e.g. Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
> Hobbes gets a bad rap because it sounds pretty horrible sitting in the peace and comfort of the 21st century

Hobbes was viewed as an enemy of humanity by many of his contemporaries.

> [H]is writings are very bold. He published views that he knew would be strongly disliked by both parties to the English Civil War. He supported the king over Parliament, which earned him the enmity of those supporting Parliament, but he not only denied the divine right of the king, he said that democracy was an equally legitimate form of government, which earned him the enmity of many royalists, though not of the king. He also put forward views concerning God and religion that he knew would cause those who held traditional religious views to regard him as dangerous. The Roman Catholic Church put his books on the Index, and _Oxford University dismissed faculty for being Hobbists. Some people recommended burning not only his books but Hobbes himself_ (From "Hobbes", in The Oxford Companion to Philosophy)

> Unused to having their own ideas taken seriously, philosophers today may be surprised to learn that the Parliament of the time regarded the doctrines of Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) as a probable cause of the Great Fire of 1666. Safely dead, Hobbes is the greatest of British philosophers; alive and kicking, he was dangerous to know, and those in charge of the universities were not distracted by the notion of academic freedom from persecuting anyone who sympathized with his ‘lewd, scandalous and immoral doctrine’. In 1668 Daniel Scargill was deprived of a fellowship at Corpus Christi College and expelled from Cambridge for being ‘an Hobbist and an Atheist’. Scargill was promised in 1669 that he could return if he delivered a public recantation: two drafts of this were rejected; in the third, the unfortunate Scargill confessed to having been an agent of the Devil, but he was never restored to his fellowship and was obliged to live in extreme poverty. // The hostility of more orthodox thinkers was aroused above all by the intellectual ruthlessness with which Hobbes insisted that all divine authority must reflect earthly power. Nothing is more binding than the word of God: this Hobbes would be the first to allow. But, he argued, the word of God, like all words, may be interpreted in rival ways. What counts as an authoritative interpretation must therefore depend on the power of those capable of enforcing it (From "Persecution of Philosophers", in The Oxford Companion to Philosophy)

Do we have a bright lookout at WebGPU? Based on historic trends, similar projects seldom come to fruition, and not even cross-platform graphics frameworks managed to stick (vulkan, metal, directx, opengl, basically none of them run on all 3 major platforms, let alone if we add mobile platforms as well to the list)
> had no "water-cooler chat" despite being physically present

i'm not saying that just because one is physically present that this would occur - i'm saying that for this to occur, physical proximity is a necessary (but insufficient) condition.

Making this process of osmosis more formal just defeats the purpose - after all, these huddles and idea meetings and "demo days" already happen in a remote setting (at least, if your company's management decides its worth the time to replicate it remotely).
I mean, it's only a Limousine if it comes fron the french region of Limousin. Otherwise it's just an unnecessarily long sparkling car.
Ok third time it worked. It gives a lot of words to change for my company homepage. Some feedback:

- spelling: it recommends a lot of 'did you means' but I meant none of them. Maybe you can compile a list with 'typical website words' such as (looking at my results) FAQ, "&", whitepaper, GDPR, EULA, etc. Also, it recommends to change words with apostrophes before it e.g. < 'Bring your own device' > --> did you mean bring and device

- low converting words: this is a cool concept! However, most of the words singled out CAN be weasel words or filler words or whatever, but not in their current context. E.g. "as well as" -> the well isn't a filler word there. E.g. ""Save up to 80%" -> up isn't a weasel word here. Et cetera.

Overall: very nice project, curious to see how it evolves!

Does everybody really know this? How do they explain all-remote unicorns where all the departments seem to be able to be effective remotely? My experience having worked at a couple of them now is that people are more productive once async working really takes hold.
I'd buy a Nokia 3210 if the _ONLY_ upgrades were:
1. (even) better battery, 2. (even) less power consumption, 3. (even) better signal reception and (4) support for modern phone providers (so I can actually make calls and send texts with it no matter where I am).

I don't want a new display, case, operating system software or anything else, and that's why the 3310 falls short.

As long as my Django backend works and browsers support my HTML/CSS/JS frontend, I am fine.

I have the same LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, Python) SAAS project running for decades now, paying all my bills, letting me live a free life.

As long as nobody touches that, you can do all you want. Invent new fancy stacks every other year, make courses for it, migrations to it, a religion of it - I don't mind.

iOS autocorrect is rapidly approaching the point where it is more of a hindrance than a help. I'm really shocked at the decline over the last couple of years, the most frequent issue is that it appears to be looking at the context, incorrectly understanding it and flipping it's/its, well/we'll, ill/I'll. It is insistent too, so if you hit delete a couple of times and re-type what you wrote it'll perform the same transformation.
> The UI in regards to navigating files in Windows is indeed a mess. A personal gripe that i have with it, that's even worse than some of what you named is the file open/save dialog - there's not just one (that would let you write the file path in the bar and thus allow you to copy paths from Explorer to it),

Note that even in the older-style file dialogs, that don't have that new (relatively speaking) breadcrumbs-style file path display at the top (like in Windows Explorer), you can still paste a path into the file name input box and it'll navigate to that folder. Relative paths also work. The only drawback is that the file name will then be reset to whatever it was when the dialog was initially opened, but other than that it works nicely.

> but many different ones for different programs! This essentially makes it so that using some software like GIMP and navigating around the filesystem with it is needlessly annoying!

The problem is
a) backwards compatibility – programs can customise the file open/save dialogs to quite some extent, so they need to explicitly opt into using the new dialogs. Plus software that wanted to support older Windows versions (pre-Vista, so these days it's probably not that relevant any more, but during the Vista/7-era it definitively mattered) then needs to have code to handle both kinds of file dialogs.
b) as far as I can tell, some cross platform frameworks use completely self-written file dialogs, which 1) usually mimic the older (Windows XP and older) style of Windows' dialogs and b) usually don't manage to copy all the features of Windows' native file dialogs, and instead often get some things subtly (or less subtly) wrong.

My personal gripe with the breadcrumbs file path navigation is that the breadcrumbs dropdowns don't support keyboard navigation like the main explorer window (or the file list in the file open/save dialogs) does, so when you have a folder with lots of subfolders and want to use the breadcrumbs to change the path, you then need to do lots of scrolling instead of simply being able to press a key.
The tragic rape of Charles Bukowski’s ghost by Black Sparrow Press (2013)
A "Weird bug or edge case" is rarely the case with these upsells. There's a lot of marketing and research budget that goes into designing these flows and equally tonnes of data behind observing the behavior.

That precisely is my point. The behavior on my end is strange as well where it happens at times i'm commuting and other times, when the phone is still, nothing. Where can i go and switch this off in settings for Apple Music short of killing the app and uninstalling?

Isn't it strange that all app behavior and interaction with the OS for apps that aren't owned by Apple need to be predictable and controlled through standard settings while Apple Music has hidden access to over ride these behaviors?

I can write paragraphs about similar behavior on the News app and other upsell services. When a platform can directly push apps without competition to your device that they don't need to compete with anyone for installs for, that is one thing, having access to undocumented APIs is another, having the ability to plow all revenue from their apps right back in without the 30% cut or other restrictive practices they impose on their direct competitors is yet another.

Either there should be transparency or there should be restrictions on the way internal Apple apps are allowed to compete in the marketplace. A random product manager at Cupertino should not have more power and clout over what apps get pushed to my phone without consent or dialogs and upsells get thrown in the UX compared to what is possible for public apps to do.

It looks exactly like the MacOS taskbar? Why isn't that one getting that much hate?
> I'm guessing Microsoft don't want to think of themselves as "the poor man's OS" however. And, they're not, it costs something like £120.

"Whereas MacOS is free, it's included with the machine and Apple doesn't charge for it separately"?

But how much of the price you pay for that machine is because of the OS, that's an unknown. Maybe the actual development costs, distributed per device, are available somewhere deep in the bowels of Apple accounting, but that doesn't tell us how much of the (inflated) price you pay for the box is due to the OS. Microsoft's dev costs for Windows probably aren't £120 a copy either (especially considering what a tiny minority of users actually pays exactly that, as an explicit item separate from the hardware).

So I reckon Windows still actually is "the poor man's OS": You probably pay more than that for MacOS, only it's baked into the cost of the hardware so you don't know how much, exactly, it is you're paying.

I see a lot of people defending cannabis and I hate to be that guy but: be freaking cautious with cannabis. Yes it cannot make you an addict, yes it can help you to have a good time with people. But it can also fuck you up. I have PTSD since 2018 because of an accidental over dosing of cannabis oil.

Weed is really high on THC nowadays, which can easily make you panic or make you paranioac. As for most people it's bought illegaly, it is hard to know exactly what you're consuming, and even a cautious guy like me can make errors (I took several kind of drugs before that, and mostly which people consider stronger stuff).

I don't think it should be illegal, but be careful with what you're smoking, which quantities, where, and please don't talk about it like it cannot be dangerous and it's the perfect solution to relieve stress/relax.
Is this satire? I hope it's satire.
Give the poor money, if you care about them. That's more efficient than making the tax system more complicated.
At its core the modern Swiss political system was modelled after the US, albeit with changes that made it better suited for the Swiss landscape: Splitting executive power to 7 ministers (because Swiss just generally don't trust anyone enough to give full presidential power) and adding direct democracy at national level [1]. Later, Switzerland also changed from majority (as the US still uses) to proportional elections. In general, the Swiss political system is much more dynamic, with the constitution being constantly amended.

That's what I meant with 'mini-US' - culturally it's certainly not super close, but I'd also say it's a bit closer to the US than other Western European countries, with the economy being a fair bit more 'liberal' (in the classic sense, i.e. more freedom to businesses with lower taxes and weaker worker protections), but it's somewhere in the middle between Germany and the US in those regards.

This discussing thread is getting lost in the weeds.

We were talking about people <<designing>> Windows.

For sure they should be using it, <<day-to-day>>. They should feel the same pain as their users are feeling and they should want to improve it.

Anything else is a travesty and that's how you end up with enterprise software (designed for the CEO, used by the peons), or Android apps (designed for iOS by people with iPhones, used by peons on Android).
My guess is marketing roles just pays a whole lot better than anything in the society today thanks to extreme focus onto the Web. It is plain stupid to seek career in actual hard engineering when just consuming alcohol and socializing in suits lands you mid six figures. People often criticized that we are spending finest of a generation into extracting clicks just few years ago but it's not even that.

> Both of these companies had a culture of writing things down, so everything was documented, an all important conversations where posted in the open for anyone to see. Everything is searchable.

That's one of the key factors for remote work success. Tribal knowledge stops working when team goes remote. Especially onboarding sucks because there's nobody who could just drop by and help you with first steps. It's harder to do when remoting. Last two places I've worked had nothing written down and it was colossal waste of time trying to get started because knowledge was scattered among people, some of whom had already left the company. I mean, you know that you're hiring for a particular position, then ensure that everything needed is either taken care of or written down and accessible. But no, I needed to waste first weeks just piecing needed information together. 1/10, would not do again.
Agreed, I'm doing the same. I used the TOTP feature before I self-hosted.
No, but I've used TGA in a few projects because it's so incredibly easy to write a header and dump the framebuffer into a file and then you've got a screenshot.
The funny thing is that Aranese is an official language at Val d'Aran, with all of the requisite legal protections to speakers. This makes Spain the only country where Occitan/Gascon (assuming with you and others that it is the same language; some apparently disagree) is an official language.
I agree with this. On macOS you're pretty much dead in the water without keyboard shortcuts.

I would use OBS for recording and kdenlive for editing. OBS is _SOLID_ and kde is not half bad either.

I'd do voice on the OBS video, (mostly for "notes") and probably do voiceover of the rough cut by recording just audio in audacity.

OBS is made for live-streaming games, but it is well-suited for all sorts of screen-capture and recording, it gives you very nice control of what you're recording (whole screen, region or window) and whether to capture the mouse cursor and such, and because of it's main use as a live-streaming platform for games, it captures _ANYTHING_ be it opengl applications, text-editors, terminals, and it does it with very high performance.
I wouldn't call it a 'bad story', rather a story giving false impression of the general situation, even if from your perspective its how it looks like. But things are almost always more complex than first glance makes them look like, as in this case. Why - MJ being a gateway drug is mostly about being one of the most accessible and 'light' drug for people desperately wanting to escape/avoid reality of their lives.

Kids growing up in dysfunctional families (who might actually look OK from outside), or with some mental issues often desperately seek any kind of escape in whatever comes around. For many Alcohol, cigarettes and MJ are most accessible but sooner or later they find these substances don't work as they thought, the ugly reality is still there. So they move up the ladder for stronger escape.

Its false to paint MJ as cause of this, taking perfectly fine and balanced young individuals and bending them on path of addiction. Yet this is how it has been sold to public for past 60 years all around the world.

What happened to humankind ;(
From the article:

> "More than 1.2 million – and potentially millions more – died in 2019 as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, according to the most comprehensive estimate to date of the global impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)."

> "The analysis shows AMR was directly responsible for an estimated 1.27 million deaths worldwide, and associated with an estimated 4.95 million deaths, in 2019."

So, roughly a COVID-epidemic's worth of people are dying each year directly from these bacterial infections, and multiples more from complications. And the death rate is accelerating.
I would say it's Linux-like at best. I mean, we could discuss the semantics and how Linux is the name of the kernel etc etc, but its a radically different experience and philosophy from regular open source Linux distros.
When the Scheme version was written, all the programming languages were equally weird to incoming students. So Scheme was as good a starting point as any other.

Today, Scheme is still weird, but JavaScript is familiar. It's something the incoming students are at least likely to have heard of. So it makes more sense to ease them into the material with the familiar rather than drop them into something weird.
