So do we as a society prefer to have no flights for a year probably including cargo planes - while providing income relief/subsidies to those pilots or do we expect those pilots to go without vaccination and force them to endure a higher mortality rate from COVID?
Question! This sounds amazing, however it's not clear if the free tier is 10k/month or if after 10k in total (globally), the account will be "disabled permanently" until starts paying.

Personal request: can you provide a low cost tier for personal usage? I love the idea, but the number of invocations I'm talking about is probably around 200/month (for family related stuff), I can't justify paying 20$/month for that to my wife

they were a company of nearly 500 people. they had 150 engineers. At that stage people who don't have levels will feel like they have no direction.
Which game is it?
They’re talking about physical size. North American metropolises are a lot less dense than their peers.

The solution is to enable density. Zoning in the US and Canada is done at the local level and zoning codes look like a list of things you can’t do. (You can have a house, but you can’t live with more than X unmarried people, you can have a home office but you can’t do hairdressing out of your home, etc.)

Zoning codes in Japan are a lot more relaxed, in that there are only about a dozen types defined by “maximum nuisance level.” Every additional level of zoning permits all the uses from the previous level as well. Which generally increases building capacity and density and lowers prices by staying ahead of demand.

How to seduce VC funds for your startup
I absolutely love this constraint and I believe this is where all the complexity of frontend derives from. When I hear someone believe that frontend is easy, which nowadays is not as common, I always think yeah maybe on an infinite-dimensional canvas it's easy. It definitely can feel like I have to leave something on the table but the real trick is understanding which pieces of functionality are okay to leave out. :)
My developer experience is that the long initial start time (of Rails in particular) is more than offset by my productivity.

If Apple would truly commit to making Swift applications run cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, Web/wasm) in a performant way, they could completely take over and become the next stack for performance-intensive applications.
Your life may very well be meaningless to you.

However, if you ever improve life for other people, from very small ways (making them happier, helping them with something, relieving some distress, or simply providing companionship) to large ways (helping them through crises - maybe even saving their life) your life is not meaningless to them.

I completely disagree. They were 450 people with 150 engineers. If I had to guess I would bet the engineers clamored for leveling and it came from bottoms up requests and a need to be fair with compensation when hiring.

Now to be clear they shouldn't have been that big (clearly), but leveling people was not the problem.

There used to be such a wonderful diversity of architectures, operating systems and platforms in comparison to today's boring landscape of really only 3 end user platforms and basically 2 viable server environments. Alas, i miss the old days
The first question I’d ask if I were writing unit tests for their first example is why a solar calculator containing mathematical business logic should depend on a location provider rather than just accepting a location as a method parameter.

Unit tests help you to design your classes based on use cases—if a simple class is hard to test you should think about whether it might have a simpler design. If you have a brute forced design and each of your classes have dozens of dependencies and your tests require pages of setup and are hard to reason about and are tightly coupled to the implementation then the tests might not be providing any benefit at all.
The FS is not encrypted. So just plug the SD card into another computer and edit the password file to replace the encrypted password with a null string.
It's more than that. When you have to make changes that touch a lot of dependencies, it's much easier if all those dependencies

- are in the same repo (making it easy to
find and change all of them)

- are in the same universe of build/test/deploy
services (making integration of your changes
atomic)

Atomicity of integration is essential, especially in organizations that move fast and make lots of breaking interface changes. Where it's to make a breaking interface change, it will be OK IFF you can make that change atomic.

Conversely, if you want to be able to make breaking interface changes, the integration and deployment of those has to be atomic.

Not having a monorepo & monobuild means that you have to have stringent interface backwards-compatibility commitments. That's fine if you're shipping an operating system, say, but it's usually too painful if you're not shipping anything to third parties.

For me, the atomicity feature is the killer feature of monorepos.
I forgot who, but someone semi-famous said unit tests should be called "programmer tests". That is, unit tests are for the programmers, not for verification. They are used as a tool by the programmer to:

Tighten up the development loop (manual e2e is often too slow)

Prove to yourself that the code does what you want

Communicate intent to other programmers

Documentation to other programmers

Help programmers debug regressions

I really think this holds up because, really, who except for programmers that can read and comprehend unit tests are going to trust they verify a product works? The more distant a stakeholder is from a project the more holistic the testing needs to be in order for that stakeholder to trust it.

>the Russian one is somewhat MIA

it is a bit unclear why, yet Russia has frequently been using much more expensive Su-30/35 fighters and Su-34 bombers for close air support instead of more traditional/suitable/cheap Su-25. As close air support naturally loses a lot of planes to MANPADS and air-defense guns, especially considering that Su-30/35/34 aren't armored like Su-25, Russia has lost a lot of those Su-30/35/34. Also using mostly unguided bombs (despite all the Russian propaganda claims of using only "high-precision weapons"- just look at that glorious state TV report on using "high-precision" where they show plane loaded only with FAB-250 unguided bombs at timestamp 24:55 of https://rutube.ru/video/4b400cbcfbbd6c1b730b5e80138fe598/ - and they even show supposed launch of a ground attack missile from that plane loaded only with those bombs :) Russian planes have had to go pretty low to achieve any resemblance of close hits - it is the city bombing that they do from 8-10 km altitude while bombing any specific target requires to go very low where they again lose to MANPADS and other air-defenses. As a result of high losses (close to 100 planes out of supposedly 1300 combat capable planes that the whole Russia has - that 1300 is an official number, divide by 2x at least to get real number :) Russia has significantly scaled back the close air support and decreased air superiority missions.
Thank you for describing the workflow. This makes it so much easier to understand them!
Scaling your system is always going to be a problem, no matter what tools you use.

I hear you on isearching. To support multiple files you could look at ag.el for fast cross-file search (although not incremental like isearch).

Alternately you can use :tags: to add a different dimension of information by which things can be grouped. org-agenda can then be used to see items by tag (also since they are just text you can search them in a buffer). I use org-agenda in 'F'ollow mode whereby a second buffer shows the selected agenda item in its original context. It helps visualize where things are while navigating.

The new hotness, ala org-roam, is bidirectional linking with tiny files. That would probably be a pain to migrate to, and isn't really aligned with your free-form model. But it might be the way to scale over the long term.
The CIA actually did "acquire" some in the late Cold War which were recently revealed to have been shipped over to Poland for 'unspecified' purposes.

In addition to what others have said, CVSs often come in related groups, and are patched together. It's likely that a single kernel security release will fix multiple related CVEs all at once.
This might be because Word overrides system shortcuts (i.e. the 'paste without formatting' in this case). Google Docs tries to do this in the browser as well, but it happens to support this particular shortcut.
Yeah, this seems to be the endgame of the whole engagement maximizer craze: If struggling with an app because you can't find the function you're looking for counts as "engagement", then the obvious strategy is to make apps as hard to use as possible.
We're quite close to the moment where we'll be able to release 1000 drones/robot dogs in a city with the mission to blow up all the tanks or white/blue arm-band soldiers.

Possibly with a human in the loop for final confirmation, which receives a target image on the screen for engagement approval. One human could approve hundred of hits per hour if you don't want to go fully autonomous.

Of course, the ability to automatically defend against drones/robot dogs will be next.

But to the main point, a nuke-like powerful bomb without radiation fallout would be quite valuable.

I moved to debian testing on my home machine after Windows 11 left the worst taste in my mouth, and I can confirm the multi-monitor support (at least out of the box) is shockingly bad even without Nvidia.

Of course, I didn't write a rant article about switching to Linux because I'm sure a lot of problems stem from my own lack of experience. I wish this author had recognised the same thing.

That still doesn't help investors at all - which is confusing to me. It doesn't seem worth it to me to be a landlord of a standard duplex/triplex in Toronto.

Do your files really not have file extensions or is it just that they are hidden by default in the file browser?

In Mac OS extensions are important but they are hidden by default. I always force them to be shown when I setup a new Mac. Hiding them obscures important information. Hiding them offers nearly no benefit.

> Installing things is still, mostly, going to random websites, downloading an .exe (or a .msi if you’re lucky) [...] This is slightly terrifying and pretty mind-blowing in 2022!

You must be kidding me. I wouldn't want to be in charge of distributing proprietary software on Linux. That would be a nightmare. Downloading an .exe might be prehistoric, but it is a piece of cake for the developer.
Personally, I think the problem is more a question of the sort of business development that happens downtown vs the surrounding areas. If you look, for example, at development on highway 7 over the decades, there's definitely densification going on, e.g. this area[0] used to be farmlands back in the day, but now those red lanes are public transit lines and there are condo buildings sprouting up along that corridor. All in all, though, it's still much sparser than Toronto's downtown core.

If you look around the area, other than campuses like IBM's and CGI's, a very significant percentage of the business development in the area is still big box B2C (walmart/home depot/etc) or small-ish businesses. That's in stark contrast to areas like the financial district where the vast majority of workers are white collar office people. Which is to say, Markham/Vaughan could still stand to become much more metropolitan with the presence of more B2B big corps.

My pet theory is that concentration of white collar work is what drives up home prices. Exhibit A: places like Palo Alto and Mountain View in the San Francisco Bay Area (vs, say, Pacifica or Half Moon Bay) are clearly propped up by the presence of FAANG campuses. I'd bet that if a Google setup a campus in Ajax, you'd see an appreciable increase in demand for housing in surrounding areas even if they are traditionally considered too far from downtown TO (e.g. Whitby)

Interesting, because my experience has always been the exact opposite: stuff kept breaking on Windows, but Linux (and FreeBSD before that) has proven to be quite stable and reliable for me. I hear so many conflicting accounts on this (in this thread, and before) that I wonder what the cause of that is.

To be clear: I consider your (and other people's similar) experiences completely valid; I just wonder where the differences are. You see something similar with people reporting experiences with Debian/Ubuntu vs. Arch/Void etc, where some say one worked horribly for them and kept breaking and the other was very stable, and others report exactly the opposite!

The only serious issue I can recall was on my very budget HP laptop I got in a bind where the WiFi didn't work as Realtek didn't upstream the drivers for that when I got it (they did after a while), so I had to manually compile and load them: not something I would expect someone without Linux experience being able to do. Other than that, everything (Bluetooth, webcam, WiFi, sound) has worked fine on two Dell XPS's, that HP, and four ThinkPads for about 15 years now (although there were undoubtedly issues that I have forgotten about, none of these machines stood out as "problematic on Linux").

It was interesting to me to see Linus, of YouTube's LTT, mess up unzipping and then last into the distro he was using because - even though there was on screen feedback (obscured by his massive screen) - a folder needed updating to see changes. But, for me, across dozens of machines and many years MS Windows' file explorer has failed to do live updates, egg when making a new folder from the right-click menu (even pressing F5) the folder doesn't show, folders occasionally get littered with New Folder subfolders. Same happens with unzipping, the exact thing that apparently made Linux unusable and "not ready for the desktop" ... except for me Ubuntu at least always shows a notification for unzipping (and new folders just work).

Mostly these things are familiarity, using Windows just boils my blood though, it feels so hostile to me,

Buying and installing Minecraft client on Linux was super easy and straight forward (I did that pre-MS), buying and installing on MS Windows was a total trauma, the account process was so convoluted. Their greed just wrecks all their awesomeness.
Forget the machines: I'm vaguely impressed by the controllers with lots of weird buttons, with analog knobs, and I think with some LCD screens—casually sitting before the monitors. These days every home video editor can buy such things—but were people doing much software video editing in '96? Wonder how many of them were sold in a year.
Your last paragraph is getting my blood pressure up.

I use Linux for myself but support a number of Windows computers, and use Windows at my (non-tech) job.

The Edge dark patterns and the start menu are two particularly sore points with me. I've wrestled with both of those several times.

Another new pain point is that at work there's a piece of software on the intranet that needs Internet Explorer, and Edge keeps forgetting that it's supposed to use IE mode for it. Oh, and as far as I can tell, Edge just ignores some group policies.
That's pretty funny. I never thought of it that way.

But I think you're confusing "discoverable" with "I'm already familiar with one of them." There's really nothing discoverable about '/etc'.

There's also the smattering of random hidden folder crap in your home directory and then also the Linux registry. Sorry I mean dconf.

Meanwhile the windows registry is quite structured and strictly typed.
