I'm torn on that "feature." On one hand, I think it's a neat idea, but on the other, I amend commits in Git quite often before pushing. It would take a mindset change to switch. And then there's this: what if I accidentally commit a private key or database? Sure, I shouldn't be f-ing up, but we all know it happens sometimes. In Git, I can revert/reset back to the commit prior.

I actually really liked TWM, and thought it was distinctly underrated.
Am I reading it wrong that they're not doing this for file size but for processing power reasons?

I'd be curious (really, not being snarky) if you tested for that as well.

EDIT: nope, I'm wrong, they say they're doing it for bandwidth.
You're paying for all of that whether it's the cloud or on-prem. The only real difference if you're a large company is whether you're paying another company's profit margin as well.

If you are big enough to have your own datacenter, you are paying Amazon enough to buy that much physical space, power, bandwidth, IT staff, etc. plus funding Bezos' trips to space.

There's a justifiable niche where you're too small to justify running your own server/below the need of one full-time IT staff where the cloud makes sense, and startups temporarily benefit from the ability to rapidly scale on cloud platforms. But any Fortune 500 transitioning to the cloud is literally just taking their money and burning it, because the alleged cost savings of efficiencies of scale are being completely absorbed by the cloud provider's profit margins. And they're still going to end up paying their own IT staff to handle the cloud management in addition to (by proxy) paying the cloud provider's IT staff to manage the hardware.
If it was truly a dumb mistake, of which I am doubtful, then let's see it fixed now that it's in the wild. User Agent detection has never been a great method of client identification, and is just a means to an end in the absence of a better option.

Have you done much gaming, or video intense stuff on linux?

On all my various devices, linux gpu performance was worse, than with stock windows. But I never shopped for specific linux supported devices, which is the only known way to me, to get comparable results.
It goes beyond things not working properly. Google regularly disables working features on competing browsers. Google search results for example display more information when you use Chrome. How much more intentional can it get?

All these large American companies are extremely anticompetitive. That’s been the case since the US stopped seriously enforcing its own laws on competition and will remain so until a regulator seriously slaps them. Europe is trying on the most egregious things but they are still not hitting hard enough.
Interesting. It was never an issue for us, as we were close to the CC servers. Some folks were not, so they ran their dev/build locally ("network close" to th CC servers) and VNC'd in from their actual location. In that case, only the stuff on the screen had to transit the "far away" network. Although, I think today, network issues would be less of a thing...as I tend to think that networks have scaled faster than code base size. I could be horribly wrong about that though. Any centralized repo is going to have this challenge though. It also depends on if you prefer snapshot or dynamic views. Snapshots were much easier on the network, at the expense of consistency. I also remember the CC team could work magic at optimizing things if you gave them time and a bit of flexibility. Crappy config specs were hard to read, and often slow to work off of. Any config spec that I had to scroll...I knew I was in for a shit week.
It took me less than 2 minutes of scrolling to reach the bottom. This implies I'm scrolling at 568 kph or 353 mph ! This seems impossible. Either this site is not really 18.94 km long, or Chrome on Android implements scrolling acceleration to such speeds which I don't believe it does.
Ever heard of the traveling salesman problem because that is worse than linear, it is factorial. Granted, that is probably overkill for most people and my team (Not FedEx) just does NxN so it is only quadratic but it is definitely not constant nor even linear.

First off, great on you.

Second, I love the idea of giving your child access to as many used books as they can handle and the library. Used books are often very cheap in my experience, and the value a child will get out of that book we bought for $3 is extremely worth it. The library is also a great (and better) option, especially if there's one in walking distance.

As someone who is comfortable middle class, I'll do my best to always get my child a used book if they're going to read it. With a quick search on Ebay, you can get each of the Lord of the Rings books for ~$4 each, and that's including shipping. You seriously can't beat books as entertainment for cost and childhood development wins. That said, if the library is across town - we'll take that route.
I'm one of the authors of Pijul, and I have plans to turn it into a synthesis of snapshots and patches, I've implemented the formats and initial steps, see https://pijul.org/posts/2022-01-07-compressed-sanakirja/

The formats are ready for the next steps, but since this is only useful for really massive repos, I want to wait a little bit before spending the time on these features. If more people start using it, it may provide the motivation needed.
I think it depends on what we mean be "negative". Constructive, easily actionable feedback can also be an opportunity for an employee to improve, which may help with next evaluation.
Interesting article. However it still seems unclear to me whether Voyager customers' retail USD deposits are safe or not. It seems predicated upon the question of whether Voyager was placing the funds on their behalf into accounts at Metropolitan Commercial Bank or not - and the article does not provide concrete evidence on this question. Anyone have a different interpretation?
I want something like VB6 but with Python instead of Basic, cross-platform and open source.

Lazarus comes close but it uses Free Pascal and (maybe because of that) is somewhat niche.

There are many GUI frameworks for Python, but I would like to have such a straightforward-to-use IDE. My current IDE is PyCharm, maybe there are some extensions? Maybe they are buggy?
Same, I had the wrong webcam plugged in and when I plugged the right one the website bugged so I had to reload. It said I didn't read the TOS but I did... oh well.
I bought a few of the Switchbot Meter Plus temperature/humidity sensors when they were on sale, to put one in each room and use them to control my heating.

They "broadcast" everything shown on the screen as BLE service-data which means you can passively read it at whatever interval.

I didn't want to sign up to their cloud with the app where they collect all of your data (my HA is offline, that's how it'll stay) so I built a BLE<->WiFi<->MQTT device using an ESP32 and a firmware I found on Github, with some modifications; it scans for the devices by BLE address, reads the service data and publishes it to the MQTT endpoints used for HASS.
Yeah, it's borderline unusable for me too, but it is a beta so I'll reserve judgement.
As I remember `hg up` requires network access. What if you break a repo offline?
I use both Sway and GNOME, and have tried various tiling window extensions for GNOME. I absolutely agree with you that the Pop! OS shell extension is a good balance. I also think it's an excellent introduction to tiling window managers for people who might otherwise be afraid to try them.
>more than I think one hit could possibly provide.

Most likely right about that.

I know its a very individual experience for people so it seems like you have a higher threshold for "feeling high" and you blew right past it before you noticed. Vaping plant matter is typically a more concentrated way to ingest. If anything I'd try combusting small amounts and gauging your reaction that way. However I know people that get anxious or have panicked previously are more inclined to do so again, you get scared of having a similar experience and prime yourself to do just that.
Doing something, anything is very much the american school of thought. In Europe, people are often very happy if they can just do nothing. Incidentally, that's also the real reason why US healthcare is so much more expensive.
Truly incredible how outright bigotry continually gets posted to a technology website. This post is a man who unironically cites pop-psych Jordan Peterson, and then links to this incredibly hateful anti-gay and anti-trans article which claims kids are being made gay or trans by sexual predators grooming them online or are choosing to be queer because of white guilt.

Complaining about race, queers, liberals, and “Woke”. No tech discussion here! Just your typical hatemonger, who perhaps identifies an actual issue or two and uses it to justify their broader bigotry, and who is perpetuated by losers who cling to his complaints in order to blame their own inadequacies on these boogiemen.
> Surely NVIDIA would never sandbag opencl...

In my experience the AMD OpenCL implementation was worse than NVIDIA's OpenCL implementation, and not a little worse, but a lot worse. NVIDIA beat AMD at AMD's own game -- even though NVIDIA had every incentive to sandbag. It was shameful.

Wow. Mine invariably cratered after 3-5 months. Had to start over from scratch every time.
If you wanted to build a skyscraper taking into account quantum mechanics then maybe you are hoping to induce a scaled quantum mechanic effect? Perhaps in the ultra-modern evolution of buildings the structure of the building itself will have a communication aspect associated with its natural largess and to accomplish this quantum mechanics is used to derive the appropriate building structure. Just because it sounds far-fetched or hard doesn't mean it won't be humdrum engineering decades or a century in the future. It all starts somewhere.

I think that's a matter of trust between the manager and his team. If the team culture is set for continuous improvement this kind of feedback should be considered normal. If an employee is at risk for termination that won't be determined just by some peer feedback.

Currently, this is false[1].

Additionally, both of the previous two comments are based on false equivalence[2]. The two technologies discussed (online certificate checking, and file hash detection) are not the same, nor do they affect the user's privacy in remotely the same way.

I would argue this thread has devolved into misinformation stemming from uneducated claims.

This is why I said to be sure to consider all the things you can do with function arguments. You can't in general assume that f(3) for a two-part argument can be read by the compiler as a curry, because the second argument may have a default. You also have to watch out in dynamic languages because the resulting function instead of a value may propagate a long way before being caught, making refactoring a challenge. (In Haskell it'll always blow up because the type system is strong, although you may not get the nicest error.) Imagine you have a whole bunch of code using this approach, and then you set a default value for the second argument. Imagine you're applying it to a whole bunch of code that wasn't written to optimize the first parameter as the one you want to partially apply.

The end result is you need a lot more noise in the partial call to indicate what it is you are doing, no matter how you slice it, and it interacts poorly with default parameters (which almost every language has nowadays) anyhow.
Let me formulate it like this: The most expensive series so far was The Pacific, with a budget of $22 million per episode [0]. You'd expect a high budget series to spend a lot on actors and directors - let's just go with 50%. This would put this series on a budget equivalent of $800 million to $1 billion with a "normal" cast (depending on how much you calculate as budget for lesser known actors). Given 20 episodes [1], this comes down to an equivalent of $40-50 million per episode. Even extremely high production value series like GoT were well below this number. Just going with the actual number of $23.25 million per episode already makes this one of the most expensive series of all time.

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be bad, but having a lesser experienced cast burn through that much money smells like bad management and could therefore be an indicator that the series is highly over-produced with not much content to go with it. Of course, time will tell, but the lack of known-good talent in the management and the insane amount of money spent don't make me overly optimistic.

Its weird to have companies say they're moving from Mainframes to the Cloud.

The Mainframe is a sort of cloud, each one has usually double the spare capacity and you call IBM to unlock it.

The cost of running a Mainframe is measured in terms of MIPS based on amount of compute used and there's compute reserved for offloading things like JITs (zAAPS). Essentially a version of cloud compute costs.

I can understand if you're locked into COBOL with EBCDIC and can't find talent, but Z runs freaking Ubuntu now! I know IBM works furiously on modern ecosystem support.

Not shill for IBM, but what exactly is it that they're expecting to be so different from their cloud migrations? Or is everyone here caught up in the "Mainframe old" falsehood.
Could it be a case of not taking on ESRI at the high end, but instead going for the low end that likely has a lot more potential customers?

The final quote is chilling:

“We got two great offers in, and neither of them cared about the water situation. They believe that the county is not going to let five hundred homes next to one of the wealthiest cities go without water.”

Evolution of the virus has clear direction only in the sense of it's infectiveness (and in this regard, Omicron is one of the worst viruses known to people and is unlikely to get any worse, moreover, if it will it won't make much difference). The virus does not "gain" anything from being more lethal, and it's as unlikely for the virus to become more lethal in some future variant as it was for the original bat virus, so we shouldn't be too afraid of it. Hospitalisation won't be a big deal because we have covid pills now and they are likely to work with any future variant equally.

One thing to avoid is employing vaccines specially tailored against infection by Omicron. Because it puts the mild version of the virus at a disadvantage thus giving advantage to potential more dangerous ones. Unless the vaccine is designed in a way to suppress any potential future variant, although i don't think such a thing can be created.

Those v4 examples are really ambiguous addresses, orthogonal to local-ness. Same goes for ambiguous addresses used in CGNAT. More importantly, the complement: you don't know that a non-rfc1918 address isn't local. This is important because the latter is actually the definition the proposed "only allow non-local" use case would require.

That might be true in a browser context, but I think both Windows and Linux (not sure about macOS) has the concept of a "clipboard" owner or "controller", which is usually the last application that copied data to the clipboard (although Linux also have the concept of "primary" and "secondary" "clipboard"), so when someone pastes into a application you're writing yourself, you could see where the data is coming from. Of course, you wouldn't be able to see what data the data that was made into the clipboard was derived from, but you get a bit of context at least.

Edit: Actually, my memory about how it works on Linux is a bit foggy, only part I'm relatively sure about is that Windows has the concept of clipboard "owner".
