Why have you come to have this opinion?

Personally, I have sent these kinds of PRs out and received only approvals and thanks from maintainers. When in an approver/maintainer role myself, these kinds of PRs are trivial to approve and I appreciate them. The PRs that change a bunch of stuff, are large, hard to review, poorly described, poorly justified, poorly tested, etc., are the annoying ones.
I'd love to see an analysis of proposed reforms since 2010 that have tried to do anything other than move the NHS towards not being socialized medicine. I suspect the list would be vanishingly small.

Maybe this is me "weaponising" the NHS but you're going to have to provide a bit more evidence if you're making such a bold claim.
Maybe, but increased competition never hurt the consumer.
That wouldn't surprise me. Could still be fun for tinkering and light consumption.
Take a look at https://lemmy.ml/ . It's a federated reddit alternative that has a very usenet-like feeling. You can also go for one of the other instances (there are some good ones like feddit.de and also some really crazy ones).
The ARC proposal argued for a cost per kWh of 26 cents, for a pilot plant not necessarily optimized to full commercial configuration. This requires a fairly revolutionary further advance for general commercial relevance but note that the current cost for ratepayers in Germany is 32 cents. A much cheaper or much stronger structural material than steel 216 would quickly change the cost as the strength determines the operating magnetic field which increases output to the fourth power. More interestingly there appears to be a similar revolution newly predicted. Based on a first principles simulation it was projected that density can be doubled over current limits in a reactor as powerful as ARC. I believe density translates directly to pressure which increases output to the second power - possibly quadrupling output over what was expected. Roughly speaking this should mean a cost of less than 10 cents for ARC if that pans out. Hinkley Point C is guaranteed a price of 14 cents, which is the world average for electricity. The doubled density prediction appears to bring a conventional tokamak in line with the projected costs of various alternative designs such as General Fusion's 8 cent projection. None of the alternatives have been tested at the scale of tokamaks but there are a few with the potential of a revolutionary price - Helion projects 1-6 cents based on reactor survivability, and don't use tritium. In fact they may be able to produce it fairly efficiently if they fall short of standalone electricity production. Fusion is generally a more expensive, more of a longshot competitor to SMRs, but with the very dramatic advantage of zero meltdown risk that makes it worth a shot

From the top of my mind that movie is "Terminator 2".

Runners-up: "Scent of a woman" and "The talented Mr. Ripley". Several Woody Allen movies are worth to revisit. "Deliverance" and "Pulp fiction" also.
Not apps but things that have helped me:

* remove All notifications from non-message & Calendar apps.

* condition everyone around you that you might not reply messages in time. (crucial to make above work) and ofc you have to follow that too.

* (if you have the financial means) get another device without ANY distraction what so ever, ideally disconnected from the internet (except maybe syncing files) For me it is a e-ink (android) tablet.

>I’m looking for some apps that people use and get genuine value out of. Can I learn something while I’m bored on the couch?

For me it's not about finding some app that helps me with this; I already have a backlog (bookmarks, pdf, tutorials) of stuff I genuinely want to consume yet I end up always scouring for new content, even with the gigantic backlog.

There's rarely any lack of quantity in content these days, quality maybe, but that's the fallacy that lead us to look for more/newer content rather than consuming the ones we've already identified.

So having a dedicated device for "consuming backlog" and minimizing adding more stuff to it have been a good change.
I use and am happy with them too—although if Dropbox deletes files from your account, or deletes your account outright, doesn’t that reach out and delete the data from all of the synced devices too, regardless of the number of devices that happen to be local to you?

Do you use a second line of local backups/versioning to protect against that possibility?
What do you use for keeping files synced between different machines like Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive does?
Your soul can be crushed in any industry, though, and every type of job can burn you out and make you lose your creativity. It's up to each of us to watch out for ourselves.
I still have it because of inertia. I don't even add stuff to it anymore, I just haven't bothered to go through it and make sure everything's copied somewhere else easily-accessible, yet.

I suspect that's the case for a lot of folks. I'm not sure it'd even make the top-5 of such services I'd consider, if I had none of them and were signing up for one today.

That's fine, but almost nobody is running tools on their MBP. So for this sort of thing you'd be using the package manager distributed with glinux. And Google is also a really weird island where tons of tools are custom. You cant use some open source tool for git bisecting because Google doesn't use git. You cant use some open source tool for debugging because borg is a weird custom mess and attaching debuggers requires specialized support.
Agreed. Between browser extensions and DNS-based products (PiHole) the number of websites that simply refuse to function is quite high. Deciphering which part of my environment is breaking the site is more time consuming than I wish.
Nearly every app in existence exists to profit off of you in some why. By nature it is hard for them to ever make your well being their aim. This is a reason I've stopped to working for direct to consumer companies, in the end you always end up scheming with your PM to figure out a way to screw over your users while humming a tune about how much you love your customers. Because of the raw numbers of customers, it almost never makes sense to do what is really right for them while doing what's also right for your bottom line.

In the last few months I have aggressively reduced my time online and replaced it with reading books of all sorts.

Part of this was a deliberate attempt to ween myself off an increasingly toxic online world. But the other part was that for learning technical topics the web has become a heaping pile of garbage. It used to be you could find some great insights on even advanced subjects, but now searching a topic make it more likely for me to find incorrect insights.

So my advice is: If there's a topic you like chatting about online, order some books on that subject. If you want to relax, start reading more fiction. And aggressively start building out a library of technical/text books (used is pretty cheap), so that you can start browsing your own "web" of useful content instead of content marketing created trash.

You can read on the toilet, that's what people used to do back in the 90s and before!

Robotics is great, you can make bank and it’s not a saturated job market. I would say get started at one of the driverless car startups, they are at the forefront of the robotics industry now as it would relate to gaming. Things like industrial robotics and control heavy systems (think Boston Dynamics) might not appeal to game devs.
you can say the same about the US: 50% to 24%
It's not quite like the old days, but games and game engines frequently require far more math and algorithms than the usual programmer just moving bits between database and screens.

I basically bombed out of the math sequence at linear algebra, at least I gleaned enough to do basic rotations and other matrix math on polygons so I could understand the techniques used by the apis and big boys.

They also need to do performance tuning, and in consoles with uniform hardware, get to optimize code to the hardware to ridiculous degrees. The war stories of games dev in the Atari 2600 up to the playstation 1 are amazing.

Despite being oft-repeated, that educational claim isn't really true.

In 2016, Trump beat Hillary in white college-educated women, despite all the claims about gender and education popular in certain sections of media.

I think one big problem with discussion about American politics today is that we all pretend like "Republican" and "Democrat" are in any way logically consistent groups representing two opinions. The truth is, they're both completely absurd coalitions of diverse groups, bound up out of necessity by America having a two-party system.

Instead of trying to split people into two groups along whatever line - education, income, urbanization, race, religion, we should just accept that the parties are a hodgepodge of many different groups. For instance, the Democrats have as a coalition both Black voters and LGBT voters, despite the fact that Black Americans have been far less progressive on LGBT issues than White Americans. Republicans have as a coalition both "small government" fiscal conservatives and Christian social conservatives, despite these groups often having polar opposite policy goals.

> It's literally a crime to not present ID when demanded by police.

No, it isn't, anywhere in the US. A bare majority (26) states have stop-and-identify laws which allow stops to determine identity based on reasonable suspicion of crime, but many don't, and those that do don't (and cannot Constitutionally) require presenting identification.

One of the challenges is that Indian intellectual tradition didn't highly prioritize keeping track of or attributing authorship to ideas, so often they just kind of floated around or were put into the mouths of sages or deities. It's hard to disentangle the line between religion and philosophy in these contexts. So much so that a lot of religious scholars argue that the very concept of "religion" and how we talk about it is inextricably tied into Christian cosmology and ideas of divinity and we either need to take explicit steps to broaden the definition or do away with the term altogether.
Dropbox doesn't have any functioning contact points. I cancelled my yearly subscription a month ago the day after it renewed, they cancelled my premium benefits immediately but never send the $120 refund that the cancellation page said I'd get. Tried contacting them from their website contact page, nothing. Tried tweeting at their support account, nothing. I'm half tempted to try to get my bank to do a chargeback.

It's sad, I used to really like dropbox but now they just suck.

I had pictures of an abroad internship from winter 2014-15 that I was able to find last year as I was aggregating all my pictures.

But I just checked their filings, the 700M figure is indeed "registered" users, not "active" ones. Which makes a lot more sense. There are not a lot of services with 700M monthly active users out there.
We all know the answer to this. Every single person in the world.

The way to fix the US system is for the health insurance market to be regulated like the auto insurance market, i.e., break up the state monopolies. Then for our employers to give us the money they're paying on our behalf. Then we could shop for a health insurance plan like auto insurance. Within a couple of years, the market would start sorting out the costs.

But no. We'll get socialized medicine. And it will look much like our disastrous Veterans Health Administration.

You could include js-ipfs[0] and fetch all your resources from IPFS without going through a gateway. However, this approach would make the site fully dependent on JavaScript.

A PWA with a Service Worker could perhaps implement its own client-side "gateway", translating public gateway URLs into direct IPFS access. Without the Service Worker (or without JS) it would fall back to using the gateway.

I worry that even Small Co is too big for you to really play a large part in a new feature, especially depending when you are joining this project and team structure. You easily risk all of the overhead and politics of an Amazon, but for less pay.

The question you need to ask yourself, do you want to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in the ocean? Next, see where you want to go 3 years from now, do you want to move from Individual Contributor to Leadership? Small Co will be better as you are more likely to stand out, can have direct communication about your goals, and work with your boss to align your goals to your work. If you want to get more technical, you could drive an architecture path in Small Co.

If I was in my early 20s I would certainly go for more money, but after making a couple hundred thousand dollars at 25 I was purely gunning for projects I was interested in.

FreeBSD is literally based directly off of AT&T Unix versions 5, 6, and 7 (in varying capacities).

AT&T Unix -> BSD -> FreeBSD -> NeXTSTEP -> macOS. (This is overly simplified, as everything is a mess and macOS contains code from both FreeBSD and original BSD which FreeBSD was based on, among other places.)

macOS is ironically a more authentic Unix than Linux is, Linux having been a clone while macOS being a great grandchild.

> And the amount of infra code you have to write to do that in AWS is any less? No, it's just as much, except more arcane.

It's substantially less, and declarative. It also includes stuff commonly pushed to phase 2 in on-prem deployments, like TLS between entities, proper IAM, and built-in metrics/logging.

> Scaling a RESTful webserver is an exercise in slapping a load balancer in front of it and running a few more instances. Not exactly rocket science.

If it's stateless, yes, though I was just responding to an example. Not all technical problems are so simple.

> Same on AWS, except now you are at the mercy of someone else's whims to see this works when it fails.

The business is always at the mercy of someone "else," whether it's you, the person who replaced you, or AWS. And AWS is way better at keeping S3 running at scale and maintaining this stuff over time than your average IT / DevOps employee. Same with Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB, SQS, etc. Unless you've got special requirements, you're wasting time and resources reinventing the wheel.
That's part of the problem itself. In most cases there ARE no communications about why an account was terminated, and it's impossible to get any unless you have enough influence to cause a messy public incident on Twitter.

Clickbait title ;)

The problem wasn't strlen(), that just showed up at the bottom of the call stack when profiling.

IIRC the actual problem was an exceptionally dumb JSON parser combined with parsing a pretty big JSON file (which probably also grew much bigger than the original developer working on that feature anticipated).

Edit: the title has been edited in the meantime, originally it was something about strlen() being responsible for the slow loading time.

The more files you have, the more OneDrive tends to chew as a baseline. If you exceed those limits it'll just sit and chew without actually updating anymore. I want to say something like 200K files is the limit.

If you're using it for work to sync build dependencies or your build tree or similar, it's easy to accidentally end up exceeding those limits and watch it eat CPU time totally ineffectually. Ask me how I know!
It's technically possible by caching only deleted shapes if any operations in the undo stack are associated with them. But is it really the UX we want every time it's happening?

Let's imagine that we work together on a design file that contains hundreds of icons. I'm responsible for adjusting the color palette while you're removing the old icons that are not used anymore. If I undo my last color update on all icons, I probably don't want to recreate the icon inadvertently and override the triage you're doing! So IMO, it's more of UX question than a technical question. Is there a better default solution that we can find to improve these edge cases? My initial thought is to have a small "toast" letting the user know that the undo operation couldn't be applied because X does not exist anymore, with a link to the version history panel to allow him to reinsert X if it wants to.
Somebody needs to write a Clojure in Scheme counterpart to this so we can go full circle!
When people said the same thing about Iraq and Afghanistan, what did you do?
Right, I agree it’s much nicer to write JavaScript now than ever before. Merely pointing out that it’s not meant to be a compiled language. As a community we continue to expect a build step to exist when it really doesn’t have to for a broad class of projects. Transpilers were never the end-goal.

It’s true that there are some optimizations done in the build step that benefit end users, and folks will probably (correctly) continue to choose to minify, tree shake, bundle + bundle split, eliminate dead code, etc. for serious applications.

But to be able to write a modern web app without having to npm install a single module would be stellar! And it’s becoming more and more possible. How do you teach someone how to write a JS project in 2022? I imagine it starts with, “Well, first you’ll need to install node and npm - that’s gonna run JavaScript on your computer but don’t mind that much for now. Now we’ll install some dependencies required to build your code…” and so on. It takes a while and many conceptual hurdles to get to the part where someone can run the code they wrote in a browser.

I agree 100% with that statement.

But it's a hardware company, this is an argument they are culturally incapable of understanding: the whole OpenSource thing is just alien to their way of thinking.
