> ... And original Agnelli was not really "a scapegoat" but a classic neoliberals ante-litteram

You know nothing John Snow

He was a member of what we call "borghesia"

It has nothing to do with neo-liberism (which is neo liberalism in English), mainly because neo-liberalism is simply a repetition of 19th century free market theories. Just like neoclassicism is not new, is the old being new again.

> BTW in the archives there is a historical recipe of a generous donation to the young PNF.

This is soooooo boring that it's not even funny anymore.

Imagine that right now in our parliament there is a populist party that took 35% of the votes in free elections and another 30% was given to literally a neo-fascist anti-government no-taxation party: Lega per Salvini.

Does it mean that 65% of the Italians are populist fascists?

Or that that kind of propaganda always works because people are like you: they are so attached to the past that always dream of the best, which is in the past.
But the best is enemy of the good.

> Again or my English is too bad or you misunderstood

You said what you said.

Own it.

> (average Joe party) was a real political party from '44 to '48,

No kidding!

Thanks for the primary school history lesson.

The point is you are the average Joe's partisan today.

How does it feel to be one and not even recognize it?

> you have to decouple French people from French élite

You have to decouple Italians from their elites then.

But Italians never had a Vichy, they were fascists or they fought fascists.

They were never in the middle.

> is the same of draghi's élite

I knew it.

Draghi is a professional, one with skills, like it or not he deserve his place.

The question you should ask yourself is: why in 2022 you are mad at an old man, while you haven't achieved anything in your life?

> Did you remember Portella della Ginestra, Piazza Fontana, Moro, ... ?

terrorists being terrorists, fascists being fascists, doesn't mean they won.

You have given up, maybe it's you that lost.
Too bad that the chip's price is not tiny. $0.5 per HC32L110 seems pretty expensive given that RP2040 is $1.

Nonetheless, it is an interesting read.

Btw, Is Sprite_tm still working at Espressif? I always wondered why Espressiv have not produced a cut-down, cheaper version of their Extensa or RISC-V based MCU.

RP2040 is eating their lunch at the low end.
So, so much hubris.

- "My analogies are brilliant, but you need to already understand the field for them to be brilliant, which I learned after tons of people told me that the analogy is actually not brilliant. But they are brilliant!"

- "You need to identify as an X to be good at X" -- No. Polar opposite. The best people in any area don't identify as anything. If anything, the opposite is the case - once you think you're a great mathematician, you stop becoming exactly that.

- "If you had any difficulty following that first paragraph (only two sentences, each of pretty average length), then you are not a good mathematical thinker" -- or your semantics just suck and you're used to dealing with reading shitty semantics. That doesn't make you a good mathematical thinker, it just means that you opted for a bigger buffer than 99% of people need in their day to day jobs, even those which are able to either come up with or understand foreign omplex models on the fly. Also, the length of the sentence doesn't matter, its the density and arrangement of information in it - and, like I said, your semantics suck.

- "That then, is mathematical thinking. How do you teach it? Well, you can’t teach it; in fact there is very little anyone can teach anyone. People have to learn things for themselves; the best a “teacher” can do is help them to learn. " -- the entire paragraph just wastes the readers attention. Teaching is to help learn. What are you saying? Nothing of value.

Posts like these are why I can't take academics serious. This is high-school levels of ignorance, crossing into five different fields that the author is not even close to being competent in. What the hell?
Chernobyl is the backyard of Russia.
Do you think Putin will just blow it up so radioactive dust can cover Moscow in few days?

The plant is secured to prevent possible provocations like the one Ukrainians did in Zaporozhye.
Other articles claim plane went down in "remote mountainous region" which I am having a hard time reconciling with the security-cam-like video footage.
> I've never worked with anyone in tech who didn't have at least some college education. Maybe the college education wasn't in CS, but they all had some college education. So the idea that tech companies are going to hire people without some college education seems suspect to me.

I have worked with some, but they were the type who could succeed in college if they had reason to. Whereas a lot of the population simply cannot hack the academic rigor, and these people tend to struggle in the workplace for the same reason.

I expect what he is trying to say, which is something we've known for a long time, is that college looks good by the numbers only because it does a good job of filtering out those destined to fail, so to speak. If we take it to the logical extreme, we know someone with, say, down syndrome is unlikely to go to college and unlikely do well in the workplace and we understand that it is their disability that produces that outcome, not because they didn't 'pull up their bootstraps' and work hard. The same idea applies across the continuum of the population.

What employers want are the people on the right side of that continuum. The people born to be successful. Coupled with the social pressure for the capable to attend college, meaning that most people on the right side attend, it has served as a really good proxy for employers to evaluate. However, tech has found even more reliable methods for determining where one sits on said continuum, so that's where things are starting to break down. In terms of people, tech is incredibly small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, though. It's not clear if other industries have figured out the same.

All that said, at this point, college has become religion. Even if we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is entirely useless, people will still want to spend their life savings on it to satisfy their inner craving for a sense of meaning in the same way that other religions attract that mindset. A collapse is laughable. That is like saying that Christianity will collapse because businesses no longer require you to pledge your allegiance to God.
I installed Fedora 35 and Pop OS to try them and I've been blown away by the interface (both have the current Gnome). It looks sleek and modern, and the usability is also good. I felt the kind of joy where I want to show other people how cool it is.
It can still be very expensive after a while. I assume TDD practitioners also practice pruning their test suites to keep them from snowballing indefinitely. If you don't, then eventually running hundreds of thousands of tests against a real database is painful both in terms of waiting time and resource usage.
I was unfortunately raised to be ashamed to haggle. It is such a limiting trait but it is deeply engrained in my upbringing so I find it painful to engage in these sorts of negotiations, up to and including for salary. Any tips on how to get more comfy with this?
Terminal velocity depends on the object. The terminal velocity of a skydiver is around 200km/h. I'd imagine the terminal velocity of an airliner pointed straight down would be significantly higher even without the engines running. With engines at cruising power they move 700km/h+ in horizontal flight, I'd imagine they could exceed that by a lot in a vertical dive.
How would it suck up more dust from underneath than it would from the sides? I don't see a major difference with previous models or competing laptops.

Also, desks and surfaces are usually cleaned.
You lose most of the advantages of running a software in your browser though.
> RISC philosophy still matters

What matters is not 'RISC philosophy' but that it is an Open Standard that allows for Open implementation.
I think the speeds and sizes of the ammunition and target will make things different enough. also at a scale this small would wind/air movement be a major enough source of potential problems if you don't measure it ?
My wife's family does this consistently. But they typically don't even bother to evaluate if the table/room/whatever they've been offered is acceptable or not, they just automatically always ask for "better". It's usually very annoying, as it causes delay, often confusion with the staff member trying to assist them, and sometimes ends up getting something worse than where you started.
FWIW: most systray applets work with any of WindowMaker's dockapp systrays, and there are a few dockapps (wmappl, wmbutton) that allow you a slightly more compact often-used icons/launcher thing. Mate panel applets do need the Mate panel of course but you can generally find equivalents for just about anything.

I don't run Linux anymore (not natively, for everyday use, in any case) -- like most people in this thread I also think the desktop is a shitshow these days but it's a particularly bad shitshow in Linux, and I was using Linux in 2003 so I know what a shitshow looks like. But when I do still need to touch a Linux machine, WindowMaker is still my WM of choice. It's really good.
I don't actually think you can negotiate with the hotel; they pre-sold those bookings to the OTAs for whatever reason but everyone's rates are still what they are. The hotel desk will suggest you get HotelTonight instead of booking with them though.
Either it is or it isn't. You can't tell without an experimental determination.

If you haven't done such an experiment, you don't know. You are always allowed to announce you don't want to know, or don't care one way or the other. But if somebody else figures out how to run the experiment, and does it, then they know and you don't; you have abandoned science. Again, that's always allowed, and almost everybody has. But then somebody else is pushing science forward, and you are just kvetching from the sidelines.

What an odd example, those cultures people expect haggling and they will dramatically increase the starting price if you're a Westerner. You could be asked to pay 10x what they'd be willing to sell it for. You absolutely should haggle if for no other reason than to experience their culture a bit deeper.

It's far from being rude or inconsiderate—especially not "unethical".
Actually not. The problem is, good stuff need enduring hard work. There is no justification of wasting resources, draining the battery and providing bad integration into the environment. It is like Flash:

https://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/

Why companies use Electron? It saves them money! And the users pay for CPU, RAM and suffer from bad usability. But that doesn't show up on your bill from Microsoft, Zoom, Spotify or Slack. And when your stuck with one software migration to better is hard. Steve Jobs killed Flash for just on reason, battery drain ^^

Double click the window header. It will fill the space below the menu bar. Double click again and it will return to the previous size.

Agreed snapping would be nice. Windows does this well out of the box. MacOS leaves way too much quality of life to third party apps.

Speculative yes. Highly speculative maybe not as much. You need to explain a 20,000 feet vertical drop in less than 2 min. Might not be the fault of the airline. Could be Boeing unclear instructions or a Supplier providing a faulty piece.
That was a good bit of context, thank you!

I wasn’t aware that XP was meant to be an upgrade for 98/ME (home users) as well as for 2000 (business users). Talk about posing off both set of customers at the same time.

I personally didn’t mind ME and liked XP, but then it was as a student who didn’t do anything serious with computers so it doesn’t count much.
Pretty sure blindly following chrome is not what this project is about.
Dust collects on flat horizontal surfaces.
Yep. Gnome on Wayland has been the best HiDPI experience I had on a Linux system so far.

Also includes night mode out of the box.
Or like, clean your room / house for a change. A vacuum and dust cloths go a long way. A roomba isn't enough. HEPA filters should only be used for the rest, if any, but those small particulates won't affect the fans much.
Be careful about relying on GNOME shell extensions; they are similar to Firefox XUL extensions in that they can do anything to the internals of GNOME shell, often break on each version upgrade, often are poor quality with memory leaks, often get abandoned upstream and removed from distros etc.
Brave of them to release new hardware, when even their old stuff has ridiculous lead times.

They have long understood that security is always an argument to throw into the pot to justify their changes. Boot malware isn't really a widely spread problem in 22 and MS still pushes TPM 2.0. It is probably less about user security than control about users and machines.
The online/podcast mattress price is still cheaper than that, unless you're hard to ship to. The wholesale price people on mattress DIY forums I assume exist use has to be much cheaper than that still.
I had the same experience in a European country. I was visiting family and they intervened on my behalf luckily.
> It's now a viable competitor for enterprise applications, both because web is getting more feature rich and these days has pretty much anything you need, and because desktop is getting worse with anti-features and jank. It's a sad state of affairs but that's where we are.

Actually web is getting worse with anti-features and jank as well.
I don't even know what is my microsoft account anymore. I have created so many for so many services and devices over the years that I don't have a "main" one anymore.

So every new install is a crapshot, I try to go local account only, but something gets in the way and I end up creating yet another one for that specific device.

It's madness.
Like always, "it depends".

If, for other reasons, I follow the Hexagonal architecture, replacing the PostgresProjectionsRepository with an MemoryProjectionsRepository is both trivial and easier. Replacing an S3LogStore with a StdOutLogStore just as easy and trivial.

But, if, God forbid, I'm stuck with a tangled mess of Rails ActiveRecord Models that break every SOLID principle with both feet, are highly coupled to the database and often even arbitrarily stick business logic in the DB or in the models, then certainly: it is hard.

And while this sounds like a rant on AR (it is!), ActiveRecord has its positive trade-offs, or, often, simply is there. Pragmatism dictates that sometimes the database is hard or impossible to stub and you're far better off just giving up and treating the entire directory of models+the-fully-seeded-database as a single unit instead.

But, what the OP of the article overlooks entirely - and what many haters of TDD miss completely: the tests are yelling important information at us: the design is a mess, there is too much coupling, we lack abstractions, there's too much going on, we are building God-classes and so on.

But, again, sometimes pragmatism dictates we ignore this and go for the bad design anyway. As long as we pro-actively chose to go for the Bad Design (rather than unknowingly grow into it) this is fine, IMO.
Manjaro Sway Edition ( https://github.com/Manjaro-Sway/manjaro-sway ) has lots of "batteries included".
I loved Heinlein, but he's not very PC/Woke and it's probably quite dated now. Also very few people in the UK were into it, compared to America. My friends dad introduced both of us, he had stacks of sci fi from second hand shops. He was also the first person I knew who had an IBM compatible PC, as he wanted to "be an author".
I use it as a glorified auto completion tool, but very rarey for any programming logic, I just ignore it then.

A good example is I want to debug the value of foo and so start to type 'print..', for rust it will then offer up `println!("foo: {}", foo)`
> Rule #3: Only use mocks for truly external systems (e.g. mail service). The database should be part of the tests. Do not stub it.

Interfacing with external resources is literally the definition of what a unit test is NOT.
"survival manual" is perhaps not quite the right phrase...but watching someone else's failed attempts at a task can be very instructive.
A local news aggregator posted an election announcement this week in my state. No real bias, just the news that the election had been called for one party. Zero nuance in the comments; it was immediately riled up comments at either extreme of the spectrum. I can't imagine what this does mentally to people who read such an unfiltered firehose day after day.
What kind of spam detection do you mean, isn't this a messaging service?
Thank you. This is so true and annoying. Microsoft should treat their UI like their APIs and not break it with every major release. Changing a submenu is alright, changing how flat it is, is fine. But don't release a new settings app with every update. Microsoft settings is like Google chat apps as soon as you get used to it they throw it in the trash and release a new one to works completely differently.

I bought a MacBook recently after switching from Mac OS X to Windows and Linux 13 years ago. After booting for the first time I opened the settings app do do some changes and was expecting to google a lot and I didn't have to. The settings still have the same layout and it generally worked the same as on macOS 10.4. The same was true for the preinstalled system apps. They were in the same place, had the same names and generally functioned the same expect some UI changes. There are additions to the UI that replaced some old features like multiple desktops, the control center and the widgets but they didn't any of my usage patterns and it was pretty easy to integrate them into my regular workflow.

If you look at it from a normal users POV Apple has much better backwards compatibility than Microsoft, if my software is being maintained by a dev and I'm willing to update to the newer versions. If I want to keep using a program that was released 20 years ago not so much, but Microsoft has been breaking a lot of these programs in the last 5 years as well.
I really wish GNOME Wayland supported crash resilience like Arcan does, so it could cope with GPU hangs and driver crashes etc.

> I don't want to do this because I need to be careful

The topic here is more about: how reliable is the worst version of the weakest part of your team on this particular development tool? People life can be filled with terrible events that will have side effect on their vigilance at work. And even just counting on the catastrophe that just happened in production, pressure can make you trade scrupulosity for immediate operational efficiency.

I prefer tools that help me to reduce cognitive load.
To be clear, wsl 2 lets you interact with the Windows filesystem. I believe you can launch exes in wsl1, but not 2. However, I've never needed to do that. It's definitely not groundbreaking, but it is convenient.

Using it with the new terminal app is nice. It will load and unload the ram for the instance immediately whenever you pop open a linux shell. IMO opening and closing virtualbox/hyper-v takes longer and is clunkier. Overall it reduces friction.
Some postscripts:

P.S. — I started programming when I was fairly young (about 10 years ago), and I've spent hours each day since then programming, reading blogs, and poring over books (SICP, Let Over Lambda, etc.). I'm especially passionate about OSS, and I've contributed to a number of projects of varying ilk over the years. Academically, I've worked really hard in school (while maintaining a balanced social life, of course). I particularly enjoy mathematics (I’ve taken up through Linear Algebra) and the sciences (I'm taking AP Physics II, AP Bio, and AP Chem this year). I understand that I’ve been very lucky, and want to make the most of my situation so that I may one day make the opportunities I’ve had access to more readily accessible

P.P.S. — I’m using a throwaway because, aside from this being a fairly personal matter, I've been active on HN for quite a while. A couple years ago, an open source project I started got a lot of traction on HN. Through HN, I have learned a lot from the blogs, books, and projects that have surfaced over the years. Needless to say, I wouldn't be in the position that I am today without your support, so thank you!

Hello everyone!

I made this after I stumble upon a file on Figma with the new Figma option that allows you to colorize vector areas, which I think is just amazing.

After that, I thought that I could put a tool together for people to actually copy paste the SVG and paste into their projects, HTMl, Figma...and is HTMl so it's html code basically, and you can use with any CSS framework or simply CSS.

You can choose between 48 different gradients.

I will make the meshe's live on figma later on, so you will be able to duplicate it from the site too.

Have a great day!
I'm convinced that these are the kind of profit margins on products in "the west" as well, but without the haggling.

I find feelings about this depend a lot on how much ceremony the type system involves; and just how many units and references to them there are in the system.

Asking bash coders to write "sleep 5s" instead of "sleep 5" - I doubt you'd get any objections at all.

But if you're putting a foo.bar.Duration on a getDefaultTimeoutFromEnvironment on a setConnectTimeout on a HttpRequest on a HttpRequestInitializer on a NetHttpTransport on a ProviderCredential to make a simple get request? People who've come from less ceremony-heavy languages might feel less productive, despite producing 10x the lines of code.
I love this!
