The original 1.x Amiga Workbench was IMHO just ugly even when it was current (I would know, I owned an Amiga); of course it was just the best they could do with the 4 colour palette they allocated to it. The general design was still good. The look of 2.x was fine. I never had a mac, but I think that classic mac is indeed ok and I do like Aqua. For me the prettiest GUI design is still classic NeXT and I would still use WindowMaker on linux if it had more modern WM features.

The biggest issues with these old environments is that today we are used to much higher screen resolutions, but a modern WM with a classic look would be pretty good for me (and of course with themes you can mostly do just that).
Is there any significant benefit of updating firmware? Intuitively it seems like the risk/reward is very skewed towards not doing it. I've never really updated the firmware on any component other than routers or motherboard/bios.
Kinda seems like the author found a working solution- public email, aka a forum:

> One thing I instituted that helped was a specific Teams channel called Knowledge Transfer. Any questions that would normally have been DM’d to me could be posted there, publicly for all to see. In theory, others could step up to answer these. I could also forward DMs there to respond to publicly or refuse to answer in DM and require them to retype their question in the Knowledge Transfer channel. Rarely did others step up to answer, but it became more like a SoFuckingAgile office hours, which was still a big improvement.
Biden Aministration weighs providing Ukraine with Switchblade 600 drones

I feel like the test is only one bit, did they cooperate and take it or not?

For me that would be the only piece of information I'd find interesting,

but before that could happen I'd have to be willing to inflict that kind of nonsense on someone in the first place.

"I asked you to perform a demeaning task just to see if you would do it, not because I actually need it done. I wouldn't have done it. This is how the best relationships all start."
Quite right. Nevertheless, there is much more to unpack in this reprehensible and dishonorable call by the Ukrainians scientists based on indiscriminate hate of another nationality (this is against all values, morals and laws of the western world). It is appalling that some western scientists and institutions are eager to throw the basis on which we stand as scientific community to thrash. (Im not going to even address the blatant double standards, which are equally troubling).

We can read in the letter ..."“Russian scientists have no moral right to retransmit any messages to the world scientific community,” says Olesia Vashchuk, the head of Ukraine’s Young Scientists Council at the Ministry of Education and Science, in two letters dated 1 March"

By what logic, what moral is this even published and taken seriously? It is ideologically confused and hurts its own cause, as Olivia Buttler in her poem concludes:... when emotions rule, destruction, destruction, destruction...

I am against and denounced in the most strong terms any and all racist ideologies/policies (as such this call in fact represents) no matter their political or economic justification imagined and in any case short-lived.
Depends on your libc.

Search order:

glibc: rpath > LD_LIBRARY_PATH > runpath > ld.so.cache > default paths.

musl: LD_LIBRARY_PATH > rpath=runpath > default paths.

Search path inheritance:

glibc: rpaths are inherited: When exe depends on libx depends on liby, then liby first considers its own rpaths, then libx's rpaths, then exe's rpaths. HOWEVER if liby specifies runpath, it will not consider rpaths from parents.

musl: rpaths and runpaths are the same and always inherited.

I verified the glibc/musl sources when writing https://github.com/haampie/libtree

I think you're missing the point of the message you're responding to, perhaps because they accidentally chose an example that is unlikely to cross a DST change.

What I think they're saying is that if you don't take DST into account at all, you might decide that "8am on Tuesday" will be using the current offset from UTC rather than the offset as it will be on the given day, whether by that logic or by adding multiples of 24 hours in similar cases.

OP wanted full text indexing and search, ActivityWatch does not do that.

It is designed for time tracking, and it only saves limited metadata. The browser plugin in particular: time of loading/switching, time spent on page, URL, title, whether the page is audible or incognito, and the tab count.
For what it's worth, my aim was to disavow anyone from claiming that they are "color-blind" even when they have good intentions. I should demand of myself to grant the same level of respect and courtesy to anyone else regardless of their race.

Then what is your definition of color-blindness? What you demand of yourself in that second sentence is pretty much the definition of color-blindness that I was taught, so to me your first and second sentence are in direct opposition: you disavow it in your first sentence, then claim to strive for it in your second.

Judging from the video's online where FSD beta is massively failing, I fail to see how amazing is not a huge overstatement?
Yeah, there are certainly a potential issues there,

but I'm coming at this from the recent feelings of shame from realizing that what I'm feeling now about my friends and family in Ukraine - while I didn't do anything except speaking out against it when (for instance) the war in Libya broke out - so what moral standing do I have now in asking even those Russians that do NOT have friends and family in Ukraine to potentially wreck their own lives to stop this war ?

Hence (I hope) I'll act more about these issues in the future, and hopefully I'm not the only one.

Dislike buttons create a feeling of negativity that turned users off engaging with Facebook, which would have meant their overall data collection ability dropped. The loss of the button itself is not so big because they have other ways to measure engagement and can probably predict quite well which items someone would have disliked anyway.

> when properly designed (especially, avoiding the feeping creaturitis of something like Scala)

What I find interesting here is that Scala has the reputation of being a complex language, while its syntax and grammar are among the simplest and most straightforward there is: https://images.app.goo.gl/K1NTGUP4G9T6wfY48

I believe that this is what "scalable" means in the eyes of its creator: it offers very powerful abstractions to be adequate for mundane tasks (e.g. file-level scripting) up to complex systems and problem spaces.

Yes, as a consequence, people have created libraries and codebases with Scala that are inadequately complex and abstract for the problem at hand, but that's not something one should blame on the language but on the project/company culture. Same is true for any language: C++ templates can be abused in ludicrous ways, some of Java's design patterns make you wish inheritance would be forbidden, python's module imports potentially overwriting globals and other footguns.

No language can be dumbed-down so much that the resulting codebase becomes immune to some amount of "abstraction management", not go, not even python. Once this is understood and accepted, it becomes obvious that it's not worthy to castrate a language on the basis of "simplicity", because eventually this complexity will be warranted at a point in the future or for some aspect of the project.

I think the go designers did the right thing here, I don't think this will bring dramatic changes in how the language is used, and will actually help with "managing abstraction" where it's due.

Here's more on that: https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/StrategicScalaStylePrincipleofL...
I think the important analog for the debt part is that it accumulates over time. At some point you are only paying off your technical debt, instead of building new features. At that point your project is bankrupt.
Ultimately, your suggestion is problematic - it moves culpability for technical debt/clutter from management/customers to the developers.

With "technical debt" you could argue that business demands coming down to "I want it NOW" will lead to slower or more work later, and give management agency in determining if that is in line with the value they expect to gain.

With "technical clutter", the problem is moved to the devs: They could just have, you know, "worked cleaner" to begin with (nevermind we never gave them the time to do so). It's their own mess that originated by their decision, not the mess caused by PMs or customer expectations. And if the mess caused by mess-inducing management tactics becomes too big, management would just fire "bad" devs and hire some newbies.

So ... I do get where you're coming from. With normal people, the difference in meaning would lead to better understanding. But management has a large amount of non-normal folks.
Same thing for me.

If the paper is not about deciding what the best option is, why did you link it?
I saw some research that suggested planes (and cinemas) don't transmit the virus as much as a bar or restaurant, say, because you aren't really aerosolising the virus in the same way (i.e. vigorous conversations). Apparently the worst places are things like choirs and church where everyone is spraying potential virus into the air...

Do we really have any definitive answers around masking effectiveness in different situations, there must have been some decent research by now?
I wonder what happens to all the conspiracy theorists who a couple of years ago said "this [the enforcement of mask wearing] is just the beginning", and that this is "exactly what Orwell predicted"?

Do they admit they were wrong? Or do they conveniently forget they ever said anything like that and move onto the next conspiracy (which currently is likely to resemble toeing the Kremlin line)?

Yes, your conclusion that this person / people should leave is the same as mine. I’m also saying, however, that the person / people you’re describing as ‘superstar’ don’t have to be that at all. There doesn’t need to be a 10x contributor and lots of average people. Just a 1x contributor and lots of 0.01x or -10x people.

Too many owners / managers believe that to grow your business you just need to add people, that they are great at hiring people, and everyone will just sort themselves out and work together. They are then surprised that this doesn’t happen, despite their faith in their own competence at making this happen.

I’m not saying there aren’t perfectionists out there with an inability to share or unwillingness to let go. Just that the situation being described could be exactly as described and not just one side of a story.

So that site is interesting to me because it comes across as retro more than anything else.

It's almost like a charicature of 90s web design rather than actual 90's web design.

To be clear, I'm not saying they have bad taste. What I'm saying is that there's always design subcommunities who want retro this or edgy that, and they're kinda ridiculed or marveled at or admired for their distinction, or whatever, and then the majority of users look for something else for daily life.

It's a kind of design sampling bias or something. The huge swaths of genz who don't care or who like the minimalist stuff, or who say that webring is too much are off on TikTok or some other platform not bothering.

I think the useful implication of debt over clutter is that by creating it, you’re borrowing time from your future self.

I worked for a european investment bank for a number of years, and they had a policy that every year, every employee (without exception) was required to take 2 weeks holiday as a contiguous block, and during that time, their access to the company was removed, so no email access, no remote login, keycard access to the office removed etc. They basically ran the 'suspend this person from the organisation' script and restored you when you returned after your holiday.

This was primarily in place to reduce the risk of fraud in the trading/operations side of the business, but it had the side effect that it made it very obvious if the business depended on someone being in the office, since managers would have to cope with people being off and unavailable for 2 weeks. It of course also covered people leaving, or being hit by a bus etc.

Overall I thought it was a very simple mechanism to avoid the business risk of being exposed to one employee both from a business as usual, and also from a fraud point of view, and also made it much easier for people to free themselves from a particular role.

In the example I gave in the original response: "white Europeans being displaced" I think I was needlessly vague. What I should have mentioned was that this displaced demographic is usually enfranchised, wealthier, educated, etc. If jobs are in question it just means that the labor market is flattening and the incumbents need to step up and skill up etc. Nobody is considering or advocating forced removal of people from their stations that's what makes this an irrational fear.

> Almost everyone [on Gemini] is of the same leftist, punk, ecological mindset.

I definitively am (my capsule is gemini://idiomdrottning.org and I write about all three of those things) but I often feel kind of alone with that perspective. There's a lot of "let's go Branden" type curmudgeonliness which I'm not into, or weird Time Cube type stuff. I only know of a handful of other leftist capsules (love them ♥).

Also, While the merits of left-wing policies and of punk aesthetics can certainly be called into question, criticizing "ecological" is like saying "and the posters on there are subject to gravity! They fall downwards, and they have the gall to live their lives going forwards in time!" We all live on the same Earth and wrecking it affects all of us.

> Maybe if you don't have many leftist friends you'll find it more novel,
but I found it full of the same talking points and little else.

It's not my intention to re-harp on the same points already made a thousand times but to instead afford a new way of thinking about systems and markets. I try to update older posts rather than make new ones about the same thing.

> I also find the place way too judgemental. The community loves to hate on anyone that doesn't share their aesthetic.

Here, I can only agree, and I'm often guilty of this, too. I see how people wanna warp or distort the aesthetic (for example, produce spec-breaking sites or accessibility obstacles) but as I try to clarify it I end up inadvertently slamming those who aren't into the whole minimalism brain trip and that's a real problem.

Search is great if you already know the answer (all search does is match answers to pages).

Search is not a substitute for good documentation. Neither is "read the code" or "you should just know", which are the most common answers I get from developers.

Not to dwell on your analogy too much, but... you may have to pay back debt eventually, and there will be accruing interest if not paid down, but debt does have its positives and advantages.

If the system that the debt is part of as a whole is increasing in value, then hopefully the relative amount of debt and its associated interest diminishes over time.

I'd say the real question is will the shortcut that leads to technical debt going to yield greater returns than the cost of the debt. And if so, over what time-frame?

On the flip-side, will rejecting shortcuts and avoiding some technical debt result in getting to market later resulting in less income and losing a competitive advantage? Were these penalties far greater than cost of the shortcut?

Relapsing back to the good ol' car analogy, it might be far more prudent to take on a car loan than buy the car outright. If the interest rate is low enough that it's below inflation, it's less than what your transportation costs would be without this vehicle and/or it's less than what you could be earning as interest on the money you would have put down to buy outright, then there is no harm in taking on that debt. In fact you might say a decision not to take on debt in any of these cases would be foolish.

I guess the moral of the story is that not all debt is bad or equal.
