One piece of advice: If you find yourself saying things like "At my old job..." just shut your mouth. I mean this with the utmost respect that phrases like that are the best way to alienate your new co-workers. Listen and learn to how they do things, then over time start improving things if you see opportunities. If they want to know how you've done it in the past, they will ask. Otherwise, you just look like a know-it-all who can't adapt.

I guess in this case delete/back space are the same key. which makes sense. well until you want to press ctrl+delete or ctrl+backspace.

Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) won't be released until 2022-04-21, so it's not officially supported right now. That means it's considered off-topic for sites like AskUbuntu.com, for example, so if you want assistance with any problems you encounter you're probably better off waiting a few months.

As for what's different: you can read the current draft of the release notes for 22.04 [1] as well as the release notes[2] and official blog post[3] for 20.04. One big change from 18.04 is Wayland by default, another is optional ZFS support.

Also keep an eye out for removed packages you might care about so you can plan workarounds or replacements. For example, the music players Amarok and Banshee are no longer available after 18.04, nor is anything that didn't make the Python 2 to Python 3 transition. There are also new packages, or newly re-introduced packages like OpenSCAD and pdftk (although these are also available on 18.04 as a snap).

When you do upgrade, consider installing onto a new blank disk and then transferring your files from the old disk afterwards. I have used this approach exclusively after experiencing one-too-many bugs that originated from old system-level configuration files. It also means I have a fall-back drive if something goes wrong during installation.

Russians will be deemed worse than ISIS for history books. All the suffering they caused to their neighbors, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia. Millions of refugees, hundreds of thousands killed, families destroyed, hopes and dreams perished - all for Russian people imperialist ideology.

> but it does come with the charge-time pain point. I look forward to the five-minute refuel I left behind to get the other benefits of an EV...

Since I charge at home, this is only a pain point on road trips (though diminishing with the growing number of high power chargers along highways). However, I understand how it's a pain for apartment dwellers who don't have their own charging stations.

So we need better street-side public charging infrastructure for them - but also for single-family-home dwellers with a second car that doesn't fit in the driveway. Living in a single-family-home shouldn't be a precondition for driving an EV.

Brazil is the B in BRIC ?
As a current residential real estate appraiser, and coming from being a developer for a large corporation that is very active in this space, this has been eye opening yet unsurprising to watch from where I sit with access to all the transactions in my area (I service the Phoenix-Metro and outlying areas).

In appraisal after appraisal after appraisal within the last 6-7 months, I have watched Zillow, Opendoor, and OfferUp getting cleaned out to the tune of losing $30,000 - $60,000 on home after home in some neighborhoods. And in AZ, Zillow and Opendoor have been buying and selling in this market pretty healthily the past few years, and we’re it not for themselves and the buying frenzy of last Spring and Summer, they probably would not have gotten as hurt here in the Valley. They got suckered into paying top dollar in a market that was at its peak, and their algos were not trained to deal with the human factors causing this.

When I was working as a developer for a real estate tech company, it was made very clear that this company, along with any other iBuyer are able to show homes and come up with estimates is because they have local access just like realtors, appraisers, and developers to a Multiple Listing Service (MLS). In fact, the company I worked for had access to every MLS in the US; They would use the data from any of these MLSs to populate their front end product, which would then be influenced by their data science team to give the “estimate” based on whatever factors they deemed appropriate.

As someone whose job is predicated on objectively using primarily historical (for the past year) MLS/County data to asses what the market will allow a home to be valued at, it pains me to see people being taken advantage of by companies like Zillow who want to be “market makers” while not thinking through the implications of their strategies past making money on “easy” flips.

All this at the cost of local communities home values losing touch with the realities of the people who are living in an area to live, not invest. And here in Phoenix, it’s only gotten worse for anyone who doesn’t already have generational or attained wealth to find affordable housing.

The median price as of the past few months has cooled down to $350,000 - $400,000 for what would be considered normal for a less-than 2,000 square foot home. But, in some areas of the valley, it’s gotten so ridiculous that a sub 2,000 sf house is able to sell for $610,000.

On the one hand, I can appreciate these types of companies and business practices because they will keep me in a job making sense of the messes they make in the micro. On the other hand in a macro view, I hope this shakes some sense into the C-suite and product teams of these platforms that they need to approach this less as a “move fast, break things” type enterprise, for themselves and the communities they impact with their choices.

I do think that we should look at these choices through a utilitarian lens and consider both the immediate and long term impact of such decisions. I do think that innocent Russian civilians will inevitably get caught in the crossfire with sanctions, which is unfortunate. I still believe that it is a moral good to penalise colonialism and other unethical activity through withdrawal of material support because this increases the cost of such actions. I'm not sure what justification there could be that continuing material support for an expansionist government during an invasion has positive utility, it smells like an argument for consistency to me but I'd be happy to be corrected.
What is the probability of a 3 days in a year breaking high temps? I'm not sure how to read the daily high numbers here unless I know what number is bad/good.

How likely is it in any given year in the last 100 years that there wasn't a day or 3 breaking previous highs?

That seems like weather vs. climate to me intuitively, but I just don't know.
People on AirBnB generally are not 'tenants' and kicking them out is as easy as trespassing them, optionally with a Sheriff if they refuse to leave. You're reading way to much into Sheriff Bill worrying about what's happening. The AirBnB side is typically a civil matter.
I think we're still far more likely to kill ourselves slowly than quickly, though the slow but accelerating erosion of our ecosystem could certainly accelerate things that would lead to a quicker end.

Either way, 800k years feels very optimistic right now. We need to stop thinking about a trillion potential future people over a million years and start making things better for the few billion or so who will live in the next 20-100 years if those trillions are ever going to exist. We're really really bad at this near-medium horizon, endlessly shuffling the costs of our choices onto them and their children as if we can amortize it forever.

> How community drives software adoption

This is not a new thing. Microsoft famously said something like "we don't like software piracy, but we'd rather you pirate Windows than use something else". Adobe said the same about Photoshop.
in this case "stupidly standing on principle" it's trying to keep Ukraine as sovereign state and not be absorbed to be part of Russia. The costs are high, but independence wars are rarely cheap
> Why? It's your home, you can do anything in it

You kinda can, but you don't get the type of legal protections a hotel or B&B that plays by the rules has.

Also like it's your home, but it's not your roads, cops, firemen, sewage system, power grid, courts... you wanna use all those services you have to play by their rules and there's a lot of rules and they don't exactly make a lot of sense.

It's usually marginally funded and/or essentially private ventures that back out or go bankrupt. There's cases of restaurants having to close down because they simply don't have renovation funds. If it's truly a public good it should be publicly funded. The public likely won't want to fund it, so you're gonna have to go with something more lax like exempting old construction entirely or publishing piecemeal best practices.

Like in this case, readers are to the point where a plain HTML offering should suffice. This is thankfully something that is not a ton of extra work. But for physical ADA compliance it is unfortunately expensive.

> "...Ukrainian television and radio were cut, and car stereos became the only link to the outside world. They played Russian news, describing a world that couldn’t be further from the reality in Mariupol."

As much as the whole world wants to believe that the people of the Russian Federation are uninformed, or disallowed the information, and disinformed by the propaganda...the grim reality seems that they rather need to believe that propaganda, because it seemingly absolves them of the resposibility for these atrocities

The simple folks of Russia are very much familiar with the horrors and the scale of such war atrocities as from the vast WW2 history, just as from Grozny and Aleppo times. They get how cruel and mindless this is. Just they cannot admit to themselves and their children that this time they are the aggressor side.

It must be the same kind of "fear of blame" that is not that different from decades of Stalin's rule. For many citizens of the Russian Federation, it's the only place to live their lives, there's no exit, not much choice for change. The fear has simply transformed the reality, just as it has done it in times before...

I have no hopes that these folks would suddenly "wake up to truth". Nor that they would attain to any collective remorse for this. Perhaps this fear could only be supplanted by their personal grief.

The Russian country seems to have turned into a Federation of Fear - the main product that its rulers now want to export to the rest of the world. It's the grief that the world is already harvesting.

My company (med devices) is asking everyone to come back to work full time. Attrition is expected and hiring has been ramped up pre-emptivly to compensate. I suspect flex roles will eventually find their market price at reduced compensation relative to full-time work.

When you protest something not because you care, but in order to signal that you care it is virtual signal (literally, you are trying to signal your virtue).

When you protest for gay rights in 2020 it is a virtue signal. When you protest for gay rights in 1987, it is because you believe in it and are willing to take the cost of it.

Since public trade companies only care about money, when those companies support some course it has become safe enough that it is now virtue signalling.

Philipp Hainhofer’s Große Stammbuch (1596–1633)
From the link:

> Richard Feynman had also experienced the bullet-outline format
style of NASA in his service on the commission that investigated the first
shuttle accident, the Challenger in 1986. Feynman wrote:

>> Then we learned about "bullets"—little black circles in front of phrases that were supposed to summarize things. There was one after another of
these little goddamn bullets in our briefing books and on slides.

but Columbia is discussed in much more depth.

And to be clear, re lists/bullets, Tufte's complaint was about 4+ levels of nested bullets:

> At the same time, lower-level NASA engineers were writing about
the possible danger to the Columbia in several hundred e-mails (with
the Boeing reports in PP format sometimes attached). The text of 90%
of these e-mails simply used paragraphs and sentences; 10% used bullet
lists with 2 or 3 levels. That is, the engineers were able to reason about
the issues without employing the multi-level hierarchical outlines of
the original PP pitches.
I think it means something like grandstanding and slacktivism.
> That's good advice for going online in general but nothing about public wifi makes this particularly more dangerous.

A busy public WiFi controlled by a hostile party is more likely to engage in port scans and other intrusive probes, so yes, this advice holds extra weight.

Similar issues apply to Tor guard nodes, which would be slightly more dangerous.

...did not know about Microsoft MAC randomization, thanks.

>You are conflating Chromium and Chrome but all Chromium based browser have this under security settings

Brave browser does not implement this URL after a cursory examination. It will be interesting to see if the OpenBSD chromium package offers it.

Tor is in Play and F-Droid. I doubt it is in the Windows store, but I could be wrong.

>You aren't using SMTP directly from a consumer ISP connection anyways. If the ISP doesn't drop the traffic, the server you are connecting to will probably reject the message as spam.

The parent post mentioned SMTP. If the recipient is local and valid, the remote MTA will likely accept for delivery.

>If anything, one could argue you are slightly less safe since Google tends to be very aggressive about signing and certificate pinning

Google has also unquestionably had a caustic and corrosive impact upon privacy in a myriad of realms. They can and do receive subpoenas constantly, and the only way out of their databases is wiping all of their closed-source components from your devices.
In my opinion, these changes are effectively supply-chain attacks in their execution. That would make them bad regardless of how correct their expressed positions are about the Ukraine war.

The fact that there has not been a strong push back confirms my suspicion that by now, everyone has gotten used to Node and NPM being insecure and silently accepted it as a way of life. Similarly, those Terraform scripts are apparently esoteric enough to only be used by a tiny minority of software developers, or else we would have heard about it in a different way.

Thank god nobody did similar shenanigans to open source projects that are actually in wide use :)
It applies to certain videos regardless of platform (clips from TV which aired on cable or broadcast and certain other videos being the most common example). So if NBC uploads a clip to Youtube, they must caption it. Netflix Originals don't have to. Auto-captioning doesn't count because the quality is not consistent enough (although that is starting to change).

In the cast of Teachers Test Prep, it was training videos that someone had to watch as a condition of employment. So it was an employment law issue - they could have complied by offering one-on-one accessible tutoring instead of captions.

Mom-and-pop Youtube influencers do not legally have to caption anything.
I don't understand what's being explained. Should people use lists alongside paragraphs?
One of the alternatives is clearly not objectively so much better for everyone. If they were so much better then VP9 and AV1 wouldn't exist. Here's what video streamers say:

Your problem is fundamentally an emotional one. Now that you suspect Device X will perform poorly at Task Y you feel buyer's remorse.

Hello,

My name is Josef Cullhed. I am the programmer of alexandria.org and one of two founders. We want to build an open source and non profit search engine and right now we are developing in our spare time and are funding the servers ourselves. We are indexing commoncrawl and the search engine is in a really early stage.

We would be super happy to find more developers who want to help us.
If you're a NASA manager and send people to their death because you can't be assed to properly read all the words on the screen, you should be tried for murder. There's no way the management was unaware, they just wanted to save money and hope for the best and not lose face, same as last disaster.

It may be more complex: electricity generation is very dirty in some regions, such as where coal is burned.

Is it more dirty than diesel emissions? I have no idea, but old diesels were nasty.

Agreed. I've written thousands of articles and won a couple of writing awards. Productivity and quality really clicked for me when I started doing my outlines as lists.

I would do them in a text editor, one thought per line. The beauty of using a text editor is the shortcut keys that make it easy to move items up/down in the list. This is really nice as the outline develops and you build the plot and connecting tissue that ties the ideas together -- it's easy to play with different narratives in a text editor.

I showed this method to a friend who is a NYT best selling author. He doesn't know a lick of code, but uses a text editor in his process now too.

I actually do all of my writing in a text editor that doesn't have any spelling or grammar checking. This helps me stay focused on the ideas and think about editing later. My very last step of editing is moving the text into a word processor to catch spelling and grammatical errors that I may have missed.

Anyway, I share this in case anyone else finds it useful. If someone has a process that works really well for them, I'd love to hear about it too!
