What do you mean? Regarding the coming Cold War, then MAD, etc?

I find that kind of reasoning troubling. It can be used to justify pretty awful things. This is a completely made up example for the sake of argument, a reduction to the absurd, but suppose they decide that vaporizing Africa, Asia and parts of Europe is better for world peace long-term... should they do it? "Sure, billions will die, but trust us that long term more lives will be saved in the coming centuries". Ok, so do we push the red button then?

Tilix 1.9.4: Terminal Emulator written in D needing new maintainer
This is an incredibly ignorant statement. Why does everything need to be about race all day?
For security? Kerberos usually has a 5 minute tolerance. Are you saying that's wrong? Because if your hardware/firmware isn't literally broken you won't drift anywhere near that in a day.

NTP can't properly fix a clock like that either since it's often capped at adjusting the speed by one part per two thousand. At most, with a consistently wrong clock, that can handle about 30 seconds per day. Any worse than that and you won't see much advantage over ntpdate.
Wary of Economic Neoliberalism, Groups Fund Research on Alternatives
That's a very dismissive attitude towards someone who's raised legitimate concerns about ways society and the biosphere itself have declined since the 2000s.
Yeah, but it's easy to skip once you know what it is and that you understand it already. For someone who doesn't, having it present may be vital.

In my opinion, the same is true of computing - as a mentor, especially when working with folks who don't come to programming from a "typical" background, there's a lot of basic context that has to be conveyed precisely because so much of our docs assume they can leave out all the stuff that "everybody knows".
No, not everything negative is the new Oracle. AWS has very little in common with how Oracle has operated historically.

Oracle didn't build their company in the style of AWS Redis, that cloning maneuver. Oracle's database was a pioneer. Oracle didn't get where they are by cloning open source and claiming it as their own. Despite the numerous bad things that can be said about Oracle's culture, that's not one of the key negatives about Oracle.
Somebody that does consulting work with Elasticsearch mentioned that they had some pretty innovative features in the pipeline and these are the things that can really pull people away from OpenSearch. It could also be that, people only really want basic search functionality so who knows right :-)
Yep and that’s great, but there are still other legitimate uses for theming. One of mine is cutting down padding to reasonable levels — GNOME is much more usable to me when using a theme like Nordic or Skeuos, both of which do that.
Elastic is already a mature product, with little to improve. Even 8.0 release is focused on speed and footprint. Many companies still use 2.x happily. License implications are not worth it.
"Used for crimes!". This sounds like that standard argument against crypto, when cash (cars) have done that since their inception.
That is terrifying, I had no idea.
There are a number of reversible hash algos. The point of hash is that the small changes in the input produce big changes in the output so even a 1-bit change to the input produces a completely different output. Some hash algos having trap door functionality is really more of a bonus.
i don't think anyone has created a hash collision in SHA-256 yet (meaning, given a hash, create an input that generates the hash)

I have noticed this too, and am curious if it is:

I've been experimenting with gtk-rs, but the GTK ecosystem is really difficult to get right. The examples are few and far between, and the type exceptions the macro DSL throws are very difficult to parse.

All the necessary components are there, but there just aren't enough guides out there to get started. I tried looking into how existing applications use the ecosystem, but experienced GUI developers pull tons of dependencies and use complicated code structures that are hardly documented.

I think switching from Python/GTK to Rust/GTK is probably an easy move, but as someone coming from .NET Forms GUI design, it's been tough getting into GTK. GTK Builder is supposed to have native support for Glade and all the other nice tools, but for me that either doesn't compile any code or refuses to even work at all.
Any evidence against this claim though?
Floating tax exempt bonds, skimming the cream with building construction/rehab and fees, and then using the different vehicles to monetize building deprecation. Then you hire young and dumb teachers as cheaply as possible and keep costs down with turnover.

Most of them are structured like real estate syndicates. It’s basically like building a strip mall or franchise hotel, except you have a captive customer and can leave the local taxpayer holding the bag. The educational mission is mostly a secondary concern. There are exceptions.
A lot of math seems like that: this cool "new" idea was actually completely worked out 200 years ago by this obscure mathematician but it didn't have any impact. (I mean, they deserve priority, but...)

I can guarantee you that if a school in my particular municipality is under threat, police are going to roll in and roll deep. Morale or no morale.

I think people are confused as to the types of crime police are backing off of policing. Shooting up Walmarts, schools, or churches will absolutely evoke a robust response here.

Of course, I can't speak for municipalities outside of this particular county here in flyover country. But knowing police and firefighters the way that I do, I find it difficult to believe that any school under threat would be ignored.

If you're genuinely curious, ask LEO you're friends with in your municipality, or LEO among your own family and friends to get an idea how professional LE is in your area. But you shouldn't believe everything you see on the internet. My assertions included.

I get what you’re saying but I find GNOME more evocative of iPadOS than macOS. It’s almost exactly what you would get if you tried to create a desktop environment using an iPad as a starting point.

macOS still has several traditional desktop affordances that are eschewed by GNOME, like full menus (not just hamburger junk drawer menus) and customizable toolbars.
> used for crimes

This gave me a chuckle. I have absolutely no data but I'm quite certain cars are "used for crimes" at a much higher rate than motorcycles.

Motorcycles are almost all manual, nearly invisible to other drivers, and prone to issues with the smallest of road hazards/obstacles, making them really risky to use as a getaway vehicle seeing as you'd need to be outpacing law enforcement much of the time. Add the adrenaline of "doing a crime" on top of that of high-speed motorcycle riding and you've really got a recipe for disaster in most cases. There was a stolen bike in LA being chased by the cops last month who collided with a car and the rider died. https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2022-01-24/mot...

Maybe being "used for crimes" would be better since you're less likely to actually get away on them!
> Except, web designers don't adjust web pages for mobile or web. They adjust pages for mobile, and then what you end up in a desktop web browser is acres of white space and buttons that are the size of your head.

I had to laugh at this.

I am writing a PWA now and this is definitely an issue in "desktop mode".

The thing is though, with giant monitors (I develop on a pair of 4k curved ultra-wides) there is so much room that most non-game apps just don't need all that much space. If you do use it all, it becomes cumbersome to move the mouse all the way to the corners because it is so far away. And even if you did use it, there would still be acres of unused space most likely, white or some other color.

I suppose you could do a true re-write and put multiple mobile screen onto one desktop screen, but that would be a very heavy lift and in the case of a saas app that will largely be used on mobile, it is pretty easy to understand why it never gets done. Bad cost-benefit and it would delay your launch.
Nobody will do anything because the kind of people who are annoyed by this kind of behavior are generally well off and religiously law abiding. The kind of people who would do something a) aren't that bothered by it and b) generally have bigger thorns in their sides than someone else's loud car

This is fundamentally a conflict of class based social norms. The kind of people who have obnoxiously loud cars don't have a lot of the kind of people who complain about obnoxiously loud cars in their social circles.
No business model, I think - and thus no money for infrastructure, further r&d, and marketing.

Both. "User has quit" doesn't seem to happen in Slack, because Slack doesn't report stuff like that. But the problem goes deeper - Slack often fails at very basic functionality, like failing deliver messages until much later or duplicating them.

That's not the point - the point is that paid shills are astroturfing reddit enthusiast subreddits, so that operator doesn't shield you at all. Once a hobbyist subreddit gets big enough, it attracts a lot of attention from shady types trying to capitalize on the captive audience. I've seen it happen numerous times (only when the offender is caught) in the /r/watches subreddit, the /r/overlanding subreddit, etc.
I've tried using the built-in recorder myself a bit while it was in Canary, and here's my take:

- The experimental Chrome recorder is only for Puppeteer, so if you like Playwright, you're out of luck. (imo Playwright's ergonomics are way more refined than Puppeteer has and is the way we'd want to be writing tests in the future)

- The Chrome recorder introduces a _ton!_ of boilerplate code that's really bulky to work around if you want to maintain the tests yourself afterwards. I'm not sure what workflow the creators envisioned when they initially created the test generation system.

- You have to save the code to a file with the built-in recorder, you can't just copy and paste it into your editor, which is frustrating to me, especially if you're trying to record 1 new test into an existing file with a suite of tests.

- It lacks a few events you can create using the DeploySentinel recorder such as hover events, capturing screenshots, awaiting/asserting on text.

I think there's a few pros/cons to different tools out there, I've put together a side-by-side comparison here: https://github.com/DeploySentinel/Recorder#alternatives-comp...

The chrome built-in recorder is finally on Chrome stable recently, I'd say you should try it out, and then try out DeploySentinel recorder.

If you love the Chrome built-in one more, I'd love to hear what you think is missing!

I had a neighbor with a Dodge Charger with no muffler. I talked to a police officer about it. He basically told me that he himself drove a loud car, and his neighbors complained to him about it because he leaves for work at 5:00 AM, and that's the nature of sports cars and you just have to get used to it.
Agreed. Not an Oracle fan boy but they didn't deserve to be brought up in the context.
Microsoft’s are the only services I use where I regularly have to delete all cookies because Teams or something gets stuck in a strange redirection loop that doesn’t happen in clean browser instances. Good times.

I think Microsoft is also responsible for an (at the time a bit embarrassing) account breach I suffered. I have no proof, but something very weird happened.

Way back when, I think my Skype account was hacked using a password that no longer should have existed. This happened some time after the forced migration to Microsoft accounts. The new password was unique and password manager-generated, and no machine of mine was ever compromised — luckily.

However, my old Skype password had been embarrassingly weak (different times), and I had only upgraded everything to strong passwords a short time before that. I remember that there was no user-visible way to change the old Skype password or even see the account anymore — I thought it was deleted during the migration.

Yet someone managed to spam all my contacts, some of which got very angry with me personally. My best guess is that they had accidentally exposed an API backend that still used the old account database. Again, I don’t really know and can’t prove it. There were hints in forums of other users with that problem, but never any official answer.

My actual point is, Microsoft isn’t that great at all of this. Whenever they buy something and force migrate all accounts, the user experience gets worse.

I have no idea why so many enterprise IT departments have such a strong preference for their stuff. It’s not like any of it is particularly easy to set up.

Your reliability issues differ greatly from my experience using 1Password over…what…10 years? If anything, I’d say that the new generation of browser extension improved reliability. The UI injection only irks me for puritan reasons, but i reality seldom have issues with it.

Why do some people find it necessary to turn every discussion into some racism witch-hunt?
Despite his protestations, he was definitely engaging in false equivalence. Kendi's work is not the platform of the Democratic party (especially not the cherry-picked version he was talking about).

Democrats have their own far out wing, but unlike Republicans, they do not own the party. That comes at a substantial price: a significant chunk of their loss in 2016 came from being unable to engage their own far-left wing with a candidate they felt was too far to the right.

He would love a party that represents exactly his views, without having to compromise on any issue or work with people who disagree with him on any point. Congratulations. Welcome to the group called "everybody". Meantime, those who would like to actually work at governing the country try to find positions that people can tolerate, even though practically nobody loves them.
> Dissonant tones are associated with anxiety.

is this true in all cultures?
Well, that’s not "dolphins".
I haven't read the article, but isn't such a statement tautologically true? Because neurons exist in all abstraction levels of the thought process, if you compare any two distinct processes, you're bound to find (by the fact that they are distinct) some neurons that fire during one and not the other.
> Inside Mozilla we had different numbers which didn't line up with the public marketshare figures

How did they obtain those numbers?
Not true. Or rather: in theory what you are saying would be true, however in case of Slack it simply doesn't work: Slack handles unreliable transport worse than IRC - IRC never dropped or duplicated messages; you could reconnect to IRC client under a tmux session from anywhere and it would do the right thing.
Okay, I'll bite. I downvoted it because, even if true, it's irrelevant and promotes a toxic (and I use that term advisedly) narrative.

Yes, when you enforce laws, some people are a-holes and escalate to unlawful violence. Sometimes cops, sometimes civilians.

The appropriate reaction to make sure that isn't tolerated either, to improve police-community relations, to train police better, and to review whether we need to update laws to match consensus on expected human behavior.

The appropriate reaction is not in a hundred miles of "oh, well, gosh, do we really need to enforce laws anymore? Someone might get hurt!", and the forum is a worse place for tolerating that mentality.

Now, to be sure, there are many laws that fit the last category above and should probably be scaled back for being petty and kafkaesque. But, "don't wake up a million people around you for your own personal thrills" does not make the list.
Not to mention, some people just want to theme their desktop. To make the computer feel like it's theirs.

AGPL seems to guarantee mostly that you can obtain changes people are applying downstream in order to host your software, and apply them back up.

It does not prevent someone from making billions off of doing nothing but hosting your software because they are better than you at hosting.
It surprises me when people lump Oracle (or AWS for that matter) in with the likes of Microsoft.
The worst is where you assume a vanilla implementation of some basic functionality, so you skip the explanation, but actually, there's a quirk inside that you only discover after scratching your head for a while.

Newbies are lucky in this way, that they don't have even a mistaken reason to skip reading the basics.
Maybe you just shouldn't ride a motorcycle if, in order to feel safe, you feel the need to unreasonably increase your level of noise pollution.

Unblock it when I need to ask a question in r/cscareerquestions, in my country's subreddit or to look at a discussion I found while searching on google.

Then I get sucked into it, browse the horrors of the front page for a while, get angry, and block it again.

It's poison.

The UI is not even the worse part(besides when you're trying to write a post), it's the content that's awful.
Video games can be great to introduce kids to computers and hardware. They might get interesting in building a computer to get good performance, which requires picking parts, looking at reviews and so on.

You can introduce them to more advanced OS concepts like memory through hacking. It's better if you have something to show and impress. Try following a tutorial beforehand to cheat in a solo game by changing some memory values. Try something old, most modern games have protections in place.

There is also the more creative aspect with modding. A kid making a map mod might begin to understand the concept of vertices, polygons, shading and so on. Shaders are an awesome too, although more advanced. ShaderToy has a nice interactive library.

It's very hard to get kids into something that's not immediately gratifying. It's better to go steps by steps, let them pick interests by themselves, and support them when they want to learn more. Torrent some CAD software if they need it!
