While this is not great at all, it will mainly impact agriculture. Coastal cities, where a majority of the population lives and where most economic value is created will always have the option to desalinize seawater, which currently costs ~ $4/(1000 gal) in the town where I’m living [1].

It also doesn’t mean that people won’t have anything to eat because agriculture fails completely. It will mostly mean that extremely water hungry produce like almonds, dates etc will have to be replaced by crops that only use a fraction of water. It’s disappointing that there isn’t more regulation to force this transition (and more general common sense practices like forcing farmers to install water meters).

People being told to not water their lawns and installing low flow shower heads is really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things (but might be necessary in a local water shortage).

Caffeine affects individuals only a little. Its true effects are seen on the societal and global scale. Modern history was born in the coffee and teahouses of the cities across the Middle East.

I would be fine, but would WE?
I mean, there is still a performance compromise; Docker on Mac sucks. Being forced to use APFS is incredibly slow for local Docker development.
I don't know if this is the exact incantation, but some IDE extensions will recognise some special comment annotations. TODO/FIXME support is in pretty much every IDE, but there are some special codes that some IDEs will recognise.

Visual Studio (not necessarily Code) will recognise TODO, HACK, NOTE and UNDONE, for example.

Java conventions mention XXX: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventi...

10.5.4 Special Comments

Use XXX in a comment to flag something that is bogus but works. Use FIXME to flag something that is bogus and broken.

Using XXX in comments goes back to 1978, according to https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-04-17-xxx-fixme/

I'm not a huge fan of XXX as a warning, there are more descriptive names in caps available that your IDE will probably even autocomplete after using them for a while. However, the practice is common enough that it's just a General Programmer Thing, kind of like how some people prefer /* */ over // because they're just more used to it.
That was pretty much how I was. Played a little in middle school, but picked up an obsession with RPGs. I'd buy pretty much any RPG I could get my hands on and read through the rules, roll up characters, think about a campaign, but do nothing. Later this would translate into playing virtually every MMPORG that came out but only for the first few levels. At some point I realized I just liked understanding the systems, but didn't enjoy the games, particularly the social element. The upshot though was mastering all those rule systems prepared my brain for a career in programming. I now play around with programming languages the way I used to play around with MMPROGs and I enjoy digging around in cloud deployments the way I used to enjoy reading RPG lore.
Anecdotally, a friend of mine started a therapy practice to be open 4 days a week in person. After a while, they realized everybody was just moonlighting at other businesses on Friday because they just wanted to make more money...so now the business is open on Friday mornings as well.

Just thought it was interesting because odds are pretty high that any 4-day work week option is going to pay less and when given the option, a lot of people would rather just have the extra 52 paid days per year.

EDIT: I don't usually comment on down voting...but I'm really curious about this one.
the 4k panel is much better than the 2k/QHD IPS one i have on my previous T480s, and that one is better than all previous ThinkPad IPS panels! the colors are much better and actually pre-calibrated. still not OLED or Mac, but for a non-touch/matte ThinkPad display, it's definitely the best i've used so far.
> Is it at all possible that other senators were asked to not share anything but that the two people you mentioned made some special arrangement, perhaps to drum up American popular support?

No, that idea doesn't pass the smell test. They're minority party representatives, and my understanding is Cruz (at least) has a reputation for being obnoxious and selfish, even among his co-partisans. There's no reason to think those two would get some kind of special permission, and plenty of reason to think they were being careless and/or selfish.
When one drives on I-5 or 99 through central California, there are billboards every 10-20 miles telling people that big government is trying to stop farming by restricting water rights. There is a constant messaging campaign (for the 20+ years I have lived in California) and the signs all look the same, and it's the opposite of what you are writing.
When you want to document and get a picture representation of a breadboard lashup and that's as far as you are going to take things.
I like that method. Where there is a TODO referencing the ticket number. Makes it easier to find the ticket, or where in the code the ticket references. And helps to ensure there actually is a ticket so it isn't forgotten about down the line.
A ‘cherry picker’ that allows me to select specific commands from my recent history and put them in a text file, in order to document any manual processes (or turn them into a reusable script - perhaps also identify parameters automatically and allow them to be supplied as arguments).
Committed @TODO in code is a junk drawer for people who don't like ticket systems. If you are working alone, sure. But in a team, please show your peers some respect and allow them to prioritize/document todos via a ticket system so a product manager can drop it or assign someone else on it. But don't litter the code with a bunch of TODOs.
Grounding doesn't make much sense for devices which are completely plastic encased.

I get your point about "pass-through grounding" to the laptop, but then again, a lot of time the laptop is not connecting to a charging wire anyway.
Israel has successfully reused its wastewater for agriculture. Turns out crops like the recycled wastewater just as much as drinking water.

More than 90% of wastewater is reused in Israel. The second-place holder reuses less than 25%. United States’ rate is less than 10%. [0]

Yeah that makes sense. We're listening too much to the extremes, they're louder after all. Sadly I don't see this changing in the near future...

We're a small (10-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building modern revenue infrastructure for usage-based software. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — everyone has 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders — mid-level ICs through senior leadership — to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Founding Engineer — Frontend Lead
- Founding Engineer — Infrastructure Lead
- Founding Engineers — other (backend/frontend/data/infrastructure)
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day workweek), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder— if interested, apply directly or shoot jobs@ and me (mike@) an email.
Thank you for that, it might be a healthier way to think about it.

However it doesn't fix the sink on my resources and the relative gain on others. This gets extra fickle when it's in a competitive environment
Having used both AWS and GCP extensively I completely agree. Google’s offering shows an almost pathological disgust for their customers.

1) Documentation is not customer centric (customers are ultimately trying to get a thing done. That thing is their search term. All of your documentation should be structured around “how to do X”)

2) Support is laughable (I finally found someone who could actually answer real questions. His title was something like customer advocate. His response time was 2 days to 2 weeks. I used him instead of support because support just wasted my time and didn’t solve anything)

3) The tool you need is beta. Don’t use it in production. Also don’t go to production without a thing that can only be done with said tool.

4) Your cluster error collection tool has exceeded api limit (because of an erroneous alert). Your api is disabled for 24 hours. “How do I increase my limit or reset my counter”. Nobody knows. After several hours of trying, asking for help, escalating, we determined we weren’t going to fix it so we decided to roll for a day with no error reporting in prod.

5) Simple things that every customer needs are not simple (how do you add a new admin user? How do you create a load balancer?) These things are some of the most common tasks any customer would ever need to do. AWS makes them easy. If they’re not easy it was a mistake. At google these things are “working as intended, will not fix”

This was the way of internal google products as well. Watch the “broccoli man 5TB” video for an internal criticism of the culture around tooling and user support. It has been like this for years.

GCP actually had a chance a few years ago. Their networking is generations ahead of the competition. They offered a better infrastructure quality/speed to price ratio.
Having just returned GCP as a customer after being away for a while I can tel you they’ve doubled down on all this crap. If anything it is worse than last time.
They’ve had their chance and they’ve squandered it.

I’ve been asked to come back and fix it, but honestly I’m not saying anything people don’t already know. The thing they need most is humility and I have no idea how to bring that to a product. I know what would need to change, I just have no idea how to do that.
I use EFTSTUB with Arch Linux and I agree about it taking up more of your time. However, for me, this was all the very start to first set it up. Since then, it’s been smooth sailing.

I also use multiple kernels and I have had issues with kernel updates, and no issues with kernel parameters. However, there is friction with creating separate entries and so I created a very simple shell script to save my commands.

I’ve had no issues dual booting with Windows using BitLocker. I do not use secure boot (yet).

If you’re willing to spend an hour to set it up, I’d go for it. However, that’s an hour of your life you can save with Grub.
You aren't going to get thin eating corn chips. That combination of fat and high glycemic carbohydrate is one of the worst.
It's pretty easy to establish a potential mechanism for this so I'm not sure why you would throw this result out without further investigation.

Plenty of animals have a sense for the earth's magnetism and this is well documented:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoreception

Putting cables carrying strong electric currents which in turn generate magnetic fields around those cables would be almost sure to have some effect, the question then becomes how much of an effect rather than whether or not such an effect is possible.
Finfisher was bought despite every legal expert they asked, including those they had on permanent payroll, saying it would be illegal to use. They later claimed they didn't use it only paid for the license.

They also said they'd only use a special Pegasus version that would be within the law, laws that they made and that then had to be severely limited later on by the Bundesverfassungsgericht (German constitutional court) again and again. If the government parties back then (one of which is still leading the new federal government coalition, both of which are leading different state legislators, 14 out of 16) had their way back then, things would be a lot worse.

If "they" (for various theys, as in federal government, state governments, federal/state police, intelligence services including internal ones such as the Verfassungsschutz and the MAD) actually did abide by the law is another matter E.g. they (intelligence services, in particular the BND) "helped" the US spy on German citizens including politicians via the XKeyscore program, and only admitted what was already known thanks to journalists, or even less actually, and didn't comment on anything else even when questioned by the German parliament, doing the whole "national security" yadayada or "I cannot recall".

In a day and age where government agencies write guides on how to carry out "parallel construction"[0], and after all that Snowden and others revealed, I am a bit skeptical when "they" tell the citizens that "they" only bought spyware but never used it, or only bought spyware with undisclosed modifications that allegedly made it lawful (under framework of law that indeed is of a questionable constitutionality in itself, and which had major parts struck or severely limited by courts) - a claim nobody was ever able to check thus far.

It is mentioned in the article actually!

We voted Sweden into EU thinking that the Swedish model would persist within. That was false and we had to let the flood of cheap labor in.

The union hostile organization "Svenskt Näringsliv" and companies wanted this of course and lobbied for it. Including calling people in the union racists for not wanting to wage dump.
Right. 5e is much easier to learn to play and DM but it also has less room for interesting things to emerge dynamically from events. 5e is arguably as fun to play but it is far less fun to watch, at least in my opinion.
How about a COBOL:Python cross compiler?
I would actually urge anyone to check out KiCAD instead, not just as well.

The only merit Fritzings has against a thriving open ecosystem such as KiCAD is its dumbed down interface that would make it more accessible to beginners. However, if you want to use it without paying €8, you have to compile it from source, which makes this whole point mute.
This causes two problems for California residents:

1) Forest fires. This is not solvable without addressing climate change, which Washington DC keeps blocking.

2) Dire food shortages, and price hikes. California is expensive, and raw food ingredients are a smaller fraction of household budgets than in othet places. This is going to hit poorer countries and poorer states much harder.

There's almost nowhere to move to avoid either of these problems. Here's a map for of which parts of the US are likely to be uninhabitable soon. California is less screwed than most of the US. In fact the California coasts are some of the more heavily populated areas that'll be OK moving forward.

We use a log aggregator and watch logs from hundreds of servers in a searchable & filterable interface like Kibana. We also use Loki and Elastic extensively. If you have money to spend, I think you'd be looking at Splunk or Datadog.

As a matter of fact, we do not have SSH access to our servers. Everything happens over a web interface that has been secured.
I have approximately 0.75 / 0.50 diopter, which is fairly mild for age 40. I agree that I feel anything above 1080P resolution for laptop screen is wasted GPU and wasted battery. It feels like a race between battery improvement and hungrier resolutions that's not working out in my favour :-/
So if I read this correctly they're finally getting fined for closing down NFC in iPhones to their own payment system?

They're so slow, this is being an issue for years, and there's really no excuse for them to do this other than just protecting their monopoly.

I just switched to an Android some months ago and I can't believe on behind is Apple in certain questions. Apple Pay is a pain compared to Google Pay, and some cards aren't even available on Apple Pay for no reason.
Yes, just looked this up to confirm my rusty recollection.

Why not `IMPORTANT:`?

I haven't seen `XXX:` anywhere, but it's immediately disconcerting as the icon is meaningless. If I have to reach-out to you to discover the meaning of some word you use, it's a bad word.
Yes. It would be nice to have a government-issued e-mail address that couldn't be taken away from me by anything short of a court order.
To be clear, this isn’t a break of AES itself, but the implementation of a whole system, of which AES is a part.

Particularly good solvers are able to see potential skips or favorable arrangements and alter their solve to "force" a particular arrangement in a later stage.

Preserving an F2L pair during the cross, or choosing a better OLL algorithm during F2L.

It's pretty neat to watch breakdowns of solves.
They are trying tho? Warp terminal has experimental ai command search that allows you to translate natural language to bash (shell) commands. That means that you could use your terminal without ever learning how to use the shell, effectively replacing not just your terminal but your shell too.

Terminal is just the program that shows text. New terminal emulators (not all new terminal emulators, but the ones mentioned in comments, the ones op asked about mostly) are way more than just programs showing text, they are also replacing/re-imagining the shell, or re-imagining the way you interact with the shell; thay are wrappers around the shell (and more).

Honest question: Have you ever used a MacBook trackpad long term?

From my experience with Dell XPS/Precision, Lenovo Thinkpads, IBM Thinkpads, and finally MacBooks, the MacBooks are far ahead.
The Thinkpads trackpad are way too small, and Dell's are now days large enough but too imprecise. Both the Dell ones will sometimes trigger a click when typing on the keyboard since the trackpad is too sensitive.
In junior high I was absolutely obsessed with character creation for some reason. I just built characters all the time to the point that I was creating my own classes too.

I have no idea why. Just a weird phase I experienced.
Nobody did?

The article's goal is clearly to provide a quick categorisation of the TODO, rather than require reading the description to discover it: if I'm trying to debug something and reach a bit of code with a bunch of TODOs it's not going to help me much, if I see a FIXME or BUG I'm going to be a lot more interested.

Sometimes the TODO us sufficient through it context (e.g. a docstring empty but for a TODO stanza is obviously a missing doc), but often it's not and is the documentary equivalent of a goto.
> The bare minimum I can work

Why not use both?

For precision movements, I use the trackpoint with my index.

For large movements or scrolling, I use the touchpad with one or both or my thumbs.
> RAAI

RAII?
I wouldn't say never. One way or another, we'll stop contributing to climate change.
Myself and friend have worked on a web app and wanted to launch. We have no idea how to get the word out?

Letzell is a C2C marketplace where you can buy and sell items or services locally.

The web app is written using elixir/phoenix for api and react/typescript for the frontend. Using wasabi for object storage.
> They can't. Russia simply cannot control the tens of millions survivors of it's brutal invasion even if they manage to defeat the Ukrainian army in the field, which they can't.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. If the Russians are brutal enough (and continue to be brutal) and the survivors have some place to flee too, they might be able to hold on to quite a bit if they can defeat the organized military by "evaporating" away those that would challenge them.
Meanwhile the US NRC is denying permits to nuclear startups like OKLO which would solve this problem in a way which is clean, and both safe and effective.

Water is a solved problem. Nuclear desilnation plants exist, and are both safe and effective. The only thing standing in the way is regulators.

Yuga Labs damaged their up-to-then perfect brand by failing this hard, so at least there is some recourse here.

No, when a man explains something to another man, that's called mentoring and it is part of the patriarchy.
As far as I can see: yes and yes. Clickbait title.
The complaint is that the user supplied password is easier to guess than it could be. A fast hash is used and not very many times. So you might have to, say, use 5 words rather than, say, 3 words in your diceware generated passphrase if you want to be secure against brute force attacks.

This ends up being a common usability issue whenever a user is asked to provide a passphrase for some sort of symmetrical encryption scheme. The user is almost never given any guidance to allow them to chose a passphrase strong enough for the system in use. So they end up with a dictionary word with a digit on the end and have no way to know that they have not actually protected anything. It ends up being sort of a con in practice. The user is allowed to believe that the system is much more convenient to use than it actually is.

The system under consideration is not really any worse than other things in this.
