I've been holding off on purchasing a new Lenovo laptop. Shortly Lenovo will start shipping latops with the new generation AMD Ryzen mobile chips that have RDNA 2 GPUs. [0][1] This is a real game changer.

The amount of power and open source VULKAN friendliness is going to be incredible.

I look forward to being able to do container work, and emulate Gamecube games all on a single Linux machine.

I am Dutch too and it is common to work part-time for four days at a 20% cut [1]. However the four-day work week movement/experiments usually mean that people would work four days without a pay cut. The idea is (like going from the 6 day to 5 day work week at the beginning of the 20th century) that the extra leisure makes people more productive during work time. So, the same amount of work is done in less time, hence no pay cuts.

See e.g.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-day_workweek#Active_trial...

[1] In fact, if you work >= 6 months for a Dutch employer, you can request moving to a part-time schedule and they can only reject this request unless they have very good reasons:

> There isn't really a best seed. There are simply tradeoffs.

(Probably a naive question, but I know very little about the topic, sorry)

Why not to make GMO crops without tradeoffs?
Aluminum for me is a big no-no considering that I always get static discharge from them.
Well, GiveWell and GiveDirectly are good, I've given to them.

But every time I meet someone who talks about this/has related keywords in their twitter profile/is in a Vox explainer, they always have strange ideas about existential risks and how we're going to be enslaved by evil computers or hit by asteroids or reincarnated by future robot torture gods. I think as soon as you decide you're going to be "effective" using objective rational calculations, you're just opening yourself to adversarial attacks where someone tells you a story about an evil Russell's teapot and you assign it infinite badness points so now you need to spend infinite effort on it even though it's silly. You need a meta-rational step where you just use your brain normally, decide it's silly and ignore it without doing math.
The "fortress under siege" mantra has had a long life in Russia (and in now the former USSR), maybe the 1990s were a short reprieve in that respect (when parts of the Russian elites genuinely wanted to integrate the Western institutions) but generally speaking I'd say that ever since 1917 most of the Russian elites have seen the outside world as "them", as the "other that wants us down". It's not a "one man thing".

This "hitlerification" of Putin hides a lot of facts on the ground, to the detriment of the West, which is why maybe they've dialed that discourse down a little in the last two weeks or so.
That too. The debts basically ensure that people have no choice but to "move where the jobs are" (which the reptilians tell us is a virtue) and work 65+ hours per week. Everything that took so long to build gets destroyed in a year or two and it doesn't come back.

Eventually, people realize they were cattle being raised for slaughter, and that "the corporate ladder" isn't going to lead anywhere decent for them because they weren't born into the right connections for that, but by this time they've had all their energies wrung out of them and it seems to be too late.
The inflow of new engineers which are not so familiar with traditional tools like a basic terminal and a text editor. That was all which was needed to write software. Most of the software stack was quite flat back then. Today, the way everyone starts is by installing a bunch of tools, frameworks and an IDE to navigate through those tools. Even a simple web page requires to install 100MBs of dependencies. Trying to learn those tools from scratch is not useful because it's all abstracted and is almost never dealt with. These terminals are making the use of those tools simpler using features like autocompletes, suggestions, metadata about the command etc. It's just like how an IDE became necessary for some languages like .NET or Java because it was no longer just the language. For terminals it's now good 'ol coreutils vs a bunch of npm crap.

I personally don't like to use pimped up terminals because they are written in electron and are not portable. The whole point of using a minimal terminal is being snappy and portable. Just like engineers today can't write code without autocomplete, new engineers won't be able to navigate the cli without assistance.

An analogy would be, vim purists with 0 config vs people who have elaborate configs.
So it is like the edge trigger functionality of a Digital Storage Oscilloscope for pipes? I can think of more than a handful of times this would have become handy but also seems like a very unlikely tool that I find myself reaching, especially due to the complicated usage.
No actually females can typically "smell" (for lack of a better word) out of the sweat of males if the immune system markers are different enough to protect potential offspring from getting the same sicknesses as mother or father.

"In several species, including rodents and fish, it has been shown that the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) influences mating preferences"

"This study thus supports the hypothesis that the MHC influences mate choice in some human populations."

I wonder how many more high-profile targets will be revealed before anything is done. Last I remember, Israel said it's not at any fault and that Pegasus was a defensive project or some such excuse.
In Sweden and Denmark as well, it would be calculated as 20 days assuming a standard Monday to Friday office hours job. I'm also curious to know where the parent poster got the 28-30 days calculation from.
No one is cursing anything. I don’t even know who you’re referring to when you say “admins”. There’s one paid moderator that I’m aware of, no admins.
A battery is nice as an integrated UPS, to be able to move the machine between rooms, put it into a bag for hours and resume from suspend in a different place without having to restart every single application, same thing over a night.

About Macs, in my case I never liked their GUI since the very first Mac (the top bar, the menu, etc) and that's an instantaneous show stopper.
Why would you consider that possibility when it is known not to be true?

Those are not the kinds of possibilities it makes any sense to consider.
I use it. It lets me keep my hands on the home row, which is great when I need to alternate between clicking and typing. And the pointing stick is great ergonomically, if you're using your laptop in any kind of mobile setting. You don't have to contort your hands to reach the touchpad, which can be difficult if your laptop is, you know, on your lap.
> it's just no comparison to debugging the 1000s of lines of shell code autotools generates

If you find yourself debugging generated scripts, you have done something wrong.
I've used https://github.com/kaegi/alass and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not an easy problem to address automatically...

Video players wouldn't want that in their codebase, maybe if it was available as a C library.
I like the idea of beginners terminal. To make them used to using keyboard instead of hunting for icons and menus. Once they are comfortable, they will find faster alternatives and end right back to the default plain terminal.
Eh, I have been using latest gen x1 carbon for last year or so that I got from work and recently bough a p15 gen1 for some personal windows usage.

I have to say, both machines are terrible.
X1 is pretty slow (some 4c i7 with basic iGPU) - running dual 4k displays, webex and similar apps is pretty slow, even scrolling websites is not smooth quite often. Also, fan never turns off and battery life is well, not great.

P15 is just ridiculous for it's MSRP, touchpad is shit, battery life is shit, CPU sometimes gets stuck at ~400Mhz just because (x1 also has this problem actually) and after googling it seems to be common issue with lenovo hardware (WTF)

Also, why they they included 2 thunderbolt ports and 1 usb-c where not one of them supports charging is beyong me, having to use this stupid lenovo psu every time is PITA)
This comment sounds biased to me.
Funnily enough the Framework laptop is nothing like 'glue and solder' (it's designed for repair and upgrade, with extremely well thought out captive screws and magnets) but does have I would say 'the build quality and support of Apple laptops'.

Support even better in a way, since they'll just ship you a replacement part rather than charge you through the nose for 'Framework Care' only to tell you it's old and needs replacing, can trade in if you want or send it off for weeks to have a 'refurbished' (not new) part fitted.
I have 2. Lenovo Legion 7 with aand AND cpu. And a ThinkPad X1 Extreme gen 1. I’m hoping new job I can get the X1 Extreme gen 5 cos I love the 16:10 screen.
I had tens/hundred(s) of friends (or acquaintance) during those years but later on I did a purge on FB to keep only people I talked to. Later on moved to another state. Now I'm down to 4 people or so like actual friends (care about me). I did change as a person/became introverted. I used to be a straight up obnoxious/cringe jackass when I was younger. But I put myself out there that's how I came to know so many people at that time. But yeah I agree that's an environment ideal for mingling especially regarding partners.
And you need to do the manual thing so rarely, that you always forget that does the delay need to be positive or negative if the subtitles are fast. =)
A lot of calculus is intuitively obvious IMO. People make way too big a deal over who "invented" it. Half the people here probably figured integrals out on their own writing video games in their teens.
I don’t want to watch the video on my phone, so would you please give some practical examples of what this might be used for? I read the description and I don’t know what it’s for.
my personal opinion is to learn Rust and something like zig or nim
I agree, discoverability has always been a paint point of command line interfaces, and I'm not sure what the best solution is. The most annoying thing for me is having to switch back and forth between some documentation of the commands I'm trying to use and the terminal.

Also I hate how clunky the interfaces feel when you're trying to view something which happened prior. It might be there, might not, some command you ran might have cleared the terminal at some point, some overwrite over themselves to do things like progress bars, and god forbid if you resize the terminal at some point because this will reflow everything that was written to it earlier into garbage.
I worked for Nokia. The Lumias had great hardware. And even Windows Phone wasn't that bad. If they'd bothered doubling down on Meego just when Google was still struggling with making Android usable, fast, and not an enormous mess, they would have had a chance. Instead they dumped it in favor of Symbian and later Windows Phone. MS bought the remains of Nokia, mismanaged it, and then cancelled the whole thing.
I had glue ear when I was a baby, I couldn’t hear anything around the age of three - had gromits put in (which fell out by themselves) and I could hear.

I don’t remember much but do remember driving home from the hospital and hearing a whistling sound from an open window that scared me.

Until around 4 I could lip read, wish it was something I collect still do!
I switched from a Legion 5 (plastic housing) to a Legion 7 (same design, but aluminum) and the only noticable difference is that the plastic is much better at keeping ambient temperature. When off, the 7 feels noticably colder and when on, it feels hotter.
I’m reluctant to let go of my X220 for exactly this reason. On typing-heavy/pointer-minimal tasks, the keyboard and wrist rest ergonomics are basically perfect. To the point where I made a wrist rest for my desktop keyboard out of carved pine wrapped with leather that precisely matches the X220 geometry.
AWS has their own crontab syntax, slightly different from regular Cron. But there is no validation tool before you submit something. It just rejects it. I want something like crontab.guru but for cloudwatch syntax. It's such a small usecase but it'd be great.
I found it interesting. Being an older person in a long term relationship with someone I met in high school, the online dating stuff seems much harder for a lot of reasons.

Firstly, meet someone when you are young they are more likely to be of a similar socio-economic group and share a lot of values by default.

Second (and I realise this is controversial) if you fall in love when you are young and stupid, the pair of you will become adults together and that shared experience will get you through shit that would turn your hair white.

I thought the article provided some insight into how you are supposed to replace the older model of dating when the tech side of things offers too much pressure to do things quickly i.e. assess and cast off, or move straight to sex in a week.

So to me it seemed like an assessment of things you should consider to slow things down, be honest with yourself and prospective partners. Not overthinking, properly thinking.
Interesting that at no point does anyone stop and think, “Gee, maybe tearing down every institution and social obligation in the name of individualist consumerism wasn’t a good idea? Perhaps our ancestors and their thousands of years old traditions concerning marriage and dating weren’t outdated idiots after all?”

Nope. The solution is always more dating apps, more self-help books, more targeted algorithms to find your perfect match and fulfill your individualist desires for pleasure and purpose. If you aren’t happy with your dating situation, it’s because you aren’t knowledgeable or hard-working enough.
No, other senators said that they were explicitly asked by Ukrainian Ambassador to not share anything on social media. Cruz and Rubio then just went and shared.
> he would sell his own mother to stay power

I don't totally agree with this, but I agree with the think that this is likely a strategy to avoid people talking about his government spying other parties politicians using Pegasus.
> Go to bars. They're full of young people looking for love.

Are they though? I mean When I meet people through apps I know exactly what they're looking for. But approaching people I've met in person for the first time leads to a whole spew of issues mostly due to me not knowing what they're looking for (as most people tend not to be communicative about that as the article describes).
Selection bias: Lenovo is selling some (I bet a fair one) percentage of laptops precisely because they have the trackpoint. Remove it and lose even only one million customers forever? Why?
Why is it impossible to enforce? Not sure I follow.
The problem is that you ofent need to job jump to get increases when you get experience. I think companies shot themself in their foot by punnishing "loyalty" in general.
Man I have not heard of those last two wow. Well 2016/2008 not really brand new either.
Also to get a good score you need to think about multiple meanings of each word - for instance I entered gas and can as separate words, however I was thinking of gas (as in fart gas) and can (as in can of beans) and that was chosen as an example of being close (because a gas can is a petrol container).

But during the test I realised this about half way through and was then checking for double-meanings. I almost wrote pot to describe marajuana for instance, then decided to go for Satvia because i thought pot would cross with Flower.

Having said all this, I did score very well anyway, although I do improv and listing unassociated words or “a to c” connections is a pretty common excercise.
there's a whole lot of default rules in GNU make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Implicit-... but not sure they are portable
nb you said "typically" but the study says "some", and doesn't comment on if it's typical for any larger groups. For myself, can't say 23AndMe has ever asked if I think my partner smells good.

Unless you meant female animals.
Why would [bred to be] sweeter be 'presumably less healthy'?
> 6. The complex interdependencies between generated files is nigh-impossible to understand

You are not supposed to understand it. Stop wasting your time and blaming autotools instead of your process.
Or ... the forces interested in spying on politicians answer neither to him nor to the catalans. While I don't disagree with your characterisation of Prime Minister Sanchez, is it not at least as likely that the forces doing the spying view both Sanchez and the catalans as valid targets? When you look around the Spanish monarchical/military/judicial/political landscape, are there not several more likely sources of hidden and not-so-hidden power that want to keep their vassals under control?
It may only be a ceremony but in case you never met a human before, ceremony is a non-trivial thing with them. It procuces real effects which matter.

Nobody thinks a document protects a president from a spy or assasin directly. Obviously a spy will sign an nda without blinking.

But the document and the ceremony around it absolutely does produce a real world effect on everyone else, and one that matters, both in explicitly defining things that you absolutely can not leave up to most people's simple judgement, and in getting them to classify what this document says differently than the 5 different terms of service they probably agreed to that week.

Enforcement is almost the dumbest aspect to even talk about. The threat of enforcement (in this case) is a token. But that does not make the formality a token.

And even the threat of enforcement is more than a token for most of the people involved, since they are all local. It's only a token for the exception case of a visitor.

this is part of the reason why so many homeless people stay living in the streets. It’s definitely more social than an apartment building, assuming you feel a sense of belonging when living with other homeless people.
It seems obvious the court didn’t understand it’s ruling or that it was breaking new ground. Also, someone has to request the enforcement of the order or it is just writing on a document. Many laws are written and go forever unenforced. Still it is disturbing news, as we are already at an alarming rate of censorship with the laws morphing for the worse.
The Elm architecture. I've only used it in F# with Fable but it's made UI programming fun again. It's robust and simple.
True love is a very modern concept that used to be restricted to fairytales.
I don't know about 'automatic', but in mpv[1] you have this:

> Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right

> Adjust subtitle delay so that the next or previous subtitle is displayed now. This is especially useful to sync subtitles to audio.

This works in 9/10 cases. :)

I have proxied a fly.io app through cloudflare. The last time I tried, it worked.
are you… also using the battle.net logo on the skill store? why

you’re like actively looking for trouble lol
There are at least four other papers directly referenced and linked in the article. You picked the first one.
at some point one realizes that people like to make up dramatic situations in their own minds and then live in that reality, and that's a form of self-gratification. According to Brave New World, we should have gotten over this neo-religion of romance that hollywood preached.
Every time I heard from Pegasus I wonder why nobody is talking about how illegal this business is and how EU and other countries are talking nothing about the use of this.
This is a simplistic analysis. Farmers have to time things around season, weather events, water availability (e.g. almost dry wells), floods, and many other variables changing all the time. For example, after heavy rains machines can't get into the field because they get stuck. And if you plant right before rains then when the mud dries it becomes too hard for seedlings to break it. Making all this work is very hard.

Of course, many places are out of control blindly dumping fertilizer and herbicides. But that's mostly China and Third World countries. It would be smart to focus first on fixing things there. It's the same as with CO2 emissions. Don't put unrealistic demands in developed countries while leaving the rest to do whatever.
Sorry cannot see why the law should be US? Don't see how US stance to Ukraine is relevant to court prosecution.

Ukraine has pretty functional courts, and during martial law it's even faster to prosecute.
Uni is nice because it presents a space where lots of people with similar interests come together.

Outside education institutes, there aren't many places like that. Or at least we need to find them.

For IT, I reckon one would be co working spaces.
What exactly is your current job - title, what kind of company and team, what do you work on every day?

What companies and positions are you applying to?
It's more favorable than operating on false beliefs.
@fxtentacle

I agree with you. This actually makes a lot of sense. Probably the title reflected the anger and frustration that I was feeling after the poor support.

Actually the company that is being migrated to AWS is quite large, but not large enough to get in spending $1+mio annually. This migration was one system from many others that needs to be moved.

But, still, 10+ years ago the support in AWS was available for free to everybody, you would get in contact with a big nerd that knew the ins and outs of the system and would help you massively on pretty much anything.

Slowly, they allow just paid support, and now not even paying listen to your problems.

At the very beginning, it was the small(-ish) companies (which a few exceptions) which gave name to AWS, and an army of geeks talking all positive about the services.

If now they just work with large corporations, it is a big (and risky) change, which goes against the Amazon Leadership Principle "Customer Obsession".
I think analysis says the best option is to marry whoever you date second.

Onboardbase was built to solve this use case. It manages and syncs your env across every stage of development.(Disclaimer: I’m the founder.)

I honestly started building this out of the need not share credentials and envs over communication channels like slack anymore. I needed a seamless and secure way to work with envs without having it scattered and fragmented across several mediums.

Envs are essential to how you work and i believe a solution shouldn't just be secure but it should also be seamless to how you work

Spinners are not just for loading the content, their main place IMHO is in web apps as a way to give user a feedback that their UI action resulted in some action that's currently still running (e.g. an api call in the background that takes some time). For that purpose spinners are probably the best you can do.

If all you need to cover is just the content loading sequence, why not use the proper progress bar? Nowadays when we have HTTP/2 and don't have to bundle all the calls together anymore, your code can learn ahead how many content blocks it has to load in a certain layout, so it's not that hard to automate it to update the progress bar accordingly. Although I'd frankly always prefer the endless animated spinner to having the progress bar get stuck at 99% in the glorious Win98 style...

Yeah, not having unlimited sick days also had the bad outcome that people go to work sick (to avoid using sick days) and infect other people.
