> Same as wayland.

No, because Wayland puts everything on the compositor. X11 let me run the same screenshot tool on GNOME, KDE, and dwm. In wayland, the only way to support GNOME, KDE, and sway is to add multiple backends. In X11, window managers and compositors were interchangeable and orthogonal; in Wayland, the "window manager" is subsumed into the compositor (now mandatory), which is the display server. I really like keynav. AFAICT, implementing an equivalent in Wayland requires integration into each compositor. There's still a monolith, but it got moved up the stack to a place where it prevents piecemeal environments.
First, my company uses a tool called Vanta. Really simplifies the SOC2 process for a small to medium sized business. They have managed to automate large portions of the process. I think I created only 5 or so screenshots for the whole SOC2 audit.

Second, the process is making your business more secure. There are so many things that people skip without the reminders of the SOC2 audit. Also, if someone has a SOC2 it tells me they are doing the Standard stuff I expect.
...is the argument that these companies that didn't participate in the development of AV1 now can't avoid using AV1, and thus are forced to license essential AV1 patents under the terms offered?

(so, is the EU also saying that once a standard becomes big enough, every essential patent must be licenseable under terms the EU finds acceptable, even if the patent holder didn't agree to that beforehand or possibly even participate?)

I think a far better approach is to just self-host your own applications, instead of just your data like a SOLID pod. Several solutions assist with this with varying levels of security isolation and open sourceness.

I use and contribute to Sandstorm.io, but also on the open source side there is also YunoHost, and on the proprietary side is Cloudron and Umbrel.

Self-hosted applications can still be closed source, but hosting them locally means you can monitor their behavior, and they should continue to work even if the developer shuts down and abandons it.
Have a look at https://github.com/waycrate/swhkd, last time I tried to use it it was still quite janky, but it might have improved since.
> Now this happens.

It's like the recent shootings in Norway and Denmark. Yes, those things happen even in "those" places (good quality of life, happy people, well developed, socialised healthcare, etc.) but they're a once in a decade, at most, event. Meanwhile the US has one of those what, weekly? It's unfortunate that guns are religious issue there, which means nothing meaningful will change.
> If you leave it to individual choice there will always be plenty of people who don’t care about the costs they’re imposing on others.

I think the current state of affairs is actually worse than that -- big trucks are popular not just because some people like big trucks, but also because there are regulations that prevent small trucks from being a viable market segment in the U.S.: that class of vehicle has much more stringent fuel economy standards (perversely forcing people into larger vehicles with looser regulations), and light trucks imported from other countries are subject to a 25% tariff.

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

The only light truck I know of that you can get currently is the long version of the Jeep Wrangler. I'm not sure if they actually meet the fuel economy standards, or if they can somehow claim to not technically be a light truck. Maybe there are some others, but as far as I can tell almost all trucks sold in the U.S. are huge and have comically tall grills.

If I wasn't already in the middle of an EV conversion project, I'd be tempted to get something like an old Datsun 620 and load it up with batteries. I wish there was a product on the market like that.
This is how insurance starts... to many customers, prices escalate and then they band together for guaranteed prices.
I said it was safe to say about you, I did not say it was your exact statement about yourself.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31809385

In the linked thread from 17 days ago, you are carrying water for enormous corporations to be able to collect and sell data on people using their extremely broadly adopted platforms - the sort which I personally would prefer not to use in part due to the level of data collection that takes place, but would begin to feel societally disenfranchised if I did not. You even go so far as to boast of contacting your local representative to campaign against the opinion that these big tech platform's information dealership ought to be regulated! You say "I love the iPhone and App Store, and Apple has earned my trust with their stewardship of it". I'd feel bad for you if those corporations didn't love you too, since you're so willing to pave the way for further data collection.

And in this thread, today, you are talking against concerns that a government running Live Facial Recognition could result in overreach as the "Slippery Slope Fallacy". So has this government also not earned your trust based on which groups of people it will and which it won't leverage this information against? Aren't the people who speak against it only making "irrational" arguments, and therefore not worthy minds of great concern to you? Why regulate power when it suits you, be it consolidated in a corporation or a state?
No, it is. And as other people have pointed out, it ships on more distros.

It's "ed" which is de facto non-standard.
All electricity I receive from my utility is generated in my state. My utility has excess capacity and provides energy to other utilities within the state. It provided those numbers as to their mix, that is what they have posted. If you want to dispute them with your general percentages, feel free, but you are not arguing from position of strength.

I would suggest instead of doubling down despite not knowing where I am, consider that in certain places within the US that the general mix of energy sources that you have provided could be different. Additionally, is it possible that in certain places within the US that energy sources like nuclear, wind, and hydro are simply not available to the consumers there? Also, is it possible that in those locations with the absence of effective renewable energy sources, that those areas might choose to rely on fossil fuels as their primary source of energy?

I could say nearly every EV roaming around Hawaii is 69% gas powered.
I could say nearly every EV roaming around South Carolina is 60% nuclear powered.
I could say nearly every EV roaming around West Virginia is 89% fossil fuel powered.
I could say nearly every EV roaming around Washington state is 69% hydroelectric powered.

All of those statements are accurate and all are completely different. According to you, they are all lies, because my statement is a lie.
I'm curious, what sort of fantastic things are we talking about here?

A little advice about ATMs (I think it should be applicable within any country in Europe) - Try to always look out for an ATMs that belong to banks, they are usually “nice” in terms of being easy to choose not to impose their own currency rate.

My Dad is a retired R&D chemist who retired after 30 years at a company you've definitely heard of. When I was at university and applying for my first real jobs, he always stressed to avoid "job hopping" because it signalled unreliability.

He still thinks that way, but the fact is that career strategy is dated, especially in technology. It's not uncommon for SWEs to change jobs every 2-3 years, and nobody will bat an eyelash or look down on such moves. In fact, most companies expect it nowadays. Oftentimes, the easiest way to get a significant increase in total comp is to get a new job instead of asking for a raise. That said, if you're happy where you are and you feel that you're being treated fairly, there's absolutely no reason to move on.

No not really. English has shifted so far that those works are hardly as understandable now as a modern translated work.
I don't think that would explain the difference. Using a quick look at https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_totaldeaths I see covid deaths as:

2019 : 0
2020 : 361,236
2021 : 461,460 ( 1.28x 2020 )
2022 : 191,352 ( 1.06x* 2020 )

But payouts look like this:

2020 : 1.09x 2019
2021 : 2.86x 2019, 2.64x 2020

If there were under-reporting in 2021 similar to 2020 then we should see about a 1.06x payout difference in 2021, not 2.64x. Not recording deaths as covid wouldn't affect life insurance payouts. So there would need to be ~2.64x more covid deaths in 2021 (after most folks got the vaccine in March-May) than in 2020 with no vaccines. This doesn't seem right to me. What would explain this is if while covid didn't get much worse in 2021 people are dying more anyway, or the covid deaths are more concentrated in insured people.

Just getting sick doesn't trigger a life insurance payout, but a glance at cumulative cases vs deaths on the data tracker suggests that in 2021 covid is less deadly than in 2020 on a per-case basis. That matches what I see on the news and people around me pretty well.

I suspect that the life insurance vs covid risks skew differently with age. Life insurance policies tend to be high for working people and lower once retired. Since the purpose of life insurance is to replace lost income for the insured's dependents most people drop or reduce their policies when they retire. So that 2.64x factor on payouts should be under the factor for deaths unless the deaths are concentrated in younger, healthier people. I have no idea what that correction would look like so I ignored it.

* Assuming the second half of 2022 which hasn't happened yet looks like the first half. Reality won't be exactly 2x the total so far.
The thing about the UK is that the state doesn't use the technology to harass people "they" dislike.

Japan has crazy intense cyberstalkers who will show up in real life; several online celebrities (streamers etc) have had to retire because of it, and there's famous cases of suicide due to online bullying, including a recent one of a star in Terrace House.
I just install Ubuntu, remove snap, and be done with it. I don't have time to mess around with Arch or Gentoo anymore, I want things to just work.

In fact this is why I use Ubuntu through WSL2 on Windows rather than a bare metal Linux install, the Windows side makes sure all device drivers are functional with no effort, plus I can play games when I want to without Proton.

It’s in the HTML spec now, https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html, broken up into smaller pieces, and with more prose around it.

There’s a lot more of it than the old one, partly due to newer stuff, partly due to CSS being able to express things that it couldn’t in the past, and partly due to covering stuff that was just missing back when it was part of the CSS spec (e.g. nobr clearly and obviously implies white-space: nowrap, but that was missing from the old user-agent stylesheet).

Some parts end up prose descriptions instead of simple rules, too, as is seen in the titular body margin, which is described in <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#the-pa...> as coming from several attributes, with 8px being a fallback.
Looks reasonable compliance than I expected. Good work.
One idea is to repeatedly expose yourself to rejection and turn it into a game, to the point where you become desensitized to it:
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/01/16/3772390...

Assuming that you live in a Western society, people who tend to ask for things (even at the risk of getting rejected) tend to do better in life. Not only that, but repeatedly engaging in social interactions will boost your self-confidence which is super attractive to women (the other controllable facet being working out).

Also, watch this motivational talk:

John Acuff: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking (~1 hour video)
https://mastersofcreativity.stanford.edu/archive/jon-acuff

The main point of it is creating more productive soundtracks (repetitive thoughts or habits) for your life:

1. Retire broken soundtracks

2. Replace them with new soundtracks

3. Repeat new ones until they become automatic

Criteria for determining which soundtracks are worth keeping:

1. Is it true?

2. Is it helpful?

3. Is it kind?

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply, I think that this hit the nail on the head for what I've observed in myself and the other devs on the team, and what I've been struggling with with this particular dev.

I understand that a 1-2 day task can end up taking weeks or months (and is really the culture I'm trying to create were we don't burn people out on the realities of software development), but I need more transparency and collaboration in the process (which the other developers have been doing without explicitly being told to do so).

I think that, along with making my expectations of speed explicit and giving him time to adjust is what I need to do to move forward.

Thank you

How is Tesla stock still so high? Its market cap is $750B with a tiny amount of cars sold, Elon is ruining his reputation on a month over month basis, he gives his laid off workers one-week salary, and his stock price goes up with impunity. It's incredible!
Was in Venice at the same time, Biennale was the highlight for me, an oasis in the middle of our Venice trip. The city itself was expensive, finding good food was not easy, completely overcrowded and majority of financial interactions involved someone charging us for something we did not buy.

Florence on the other hand was phenomenal, we stopped by on our way to Venice for a few nights and though it had many tourists, it was so easy to wander and get lost and find treasures. We couldn’t find a place that had bad food, just wander somewhere off the main path and amazing pizza, amazing wine for incredible price. Incredible sights and history to indulge in, definitely was the highlight of our Rome, Florence, Venice trip.
Yep.

1/100 is shockingly high. IMO if you accept that you've been conditioned to some pretty crazy risk. I'm going to guess a lot of that statistic comes from drunk driving, at night, with many on rural roads, though. If the risk of flying was 1/100 of death over a lifetime the airline industry would be absolutely decimated by comparison.

That is, the power of the pen is premised on power in arms being equal.

The line comes from Edward Bulwer-Lytton, of "It was a dark and stormy night" fame. It appears in the play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy, about Cardinal Richelieu a/k/a a/k/a Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal-Duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac, who may have a line or two on the power of words to his fame (or at least ascribed) as well.

I recently started learning threejs through Bruno Simon excellent online course and had a great time, the course is great, easy to follow, and well structured and at least for me the immediate feedback loop of writing a few lines of JS and seeing something happen in the screen is very rewarding and a change from what I do for a living

I also recommended it to a friend in a similar situation to yours and he liked it too

For context, my background is around system administration, and had spent the last years writing k8s YAML for a living :P

Just in case, I'm not affiliated with Bruno in any way, just a happy student!

If you're getting friendzoned, then you need to be more assertive. By the 2nd or 3rd date, you should be escalating to physical touch (try accidentally brushing your hand against her side, touching her wrist, etc but if the girl jolts away then that's a sign that you're being too aggressive. If she starts touching you back, then you're doing something right). Read The Game by Neil Strauss (although take it with a grain of salt).

Also consider moving to a location where the supply/demand economics are much better (I'm going to assume you live in the Bay Area). In places like NYC, I've heard that women will actually approach you.

It is a rhetorical flourish, but my gut says that language is complex enough to craft statements that both meet the legal definition but aren't insults, or are insulting but don't meet the legal definition.

I'm also discounting circular definitions like insults are statements that are insulting which are tautological, but don't reveal any extra clarity.

> you could enumerate all 'banned' insults

I'd argue that this is not possible due to the set of insults having at least countably infinite cardinality.

I have spent a delightfully large amount of time walking around Venice in the dark and I never once felt that I couldn't see the edge of the canal. It's relatively rare for people to accidentally fall in, so I think I'm not alone. If you have unusually bad night-time vision or can't walk in a straight line then I can imagine it could be a concern, though.
My comments pertain to Enterprise products, and less towards consumer products. I have worked on consumer products intermittently and have found Product Managers even less valuable there.

Product Managers are useful but they should not work directly with engineers. Engineering Managers should be the people who work with PMs. PMs talking directly to engineers is a recipe for scope creep, complete requirements misses, and worse, misallocation of valuable engineering time on what could be "trivial" enhancements or features (from the PM's perspective). The best Product Managers work as a team with Engineering Managers.

Overall, as an Engineer, I think Product Managers are 90% fluff. They are often not very knowledgeable about the industry, and they often do not have enough clout or political capital to tell upper management when they are on a wild goose chase. As a result they are often enablers of poorly-defined and consequently, poorly thought out products that are a nightmare to maintain and support that are not something the customer asked for. As they often come from nontechnical backgrounds, e.g., sales, or they are 'lapsed' engineers, they are not plugged into the actual product development dynamics in the team, but are often de-facto project managers owing to their position as go-betweens between sales, upper management and engineering teams. That is another black spot on their reputations with Engineers, who generally dislike Project Managers whether they are the PMP types or de-facto ones.

The secret about rich people. Extremely few have liquidity. Mostly because their financial managers are smarter than that.

That's awesome! I've not actually run the numbers, but yours sound about right. Though you might be able to add say 2 awnings to triple the regular roof. Of course, that adds weight, etc.

Alas it doesn't seem sustainable to self-charge for most. Not many people probably want to take half a week to re-charge for every few hundred miles they go.

Then again maybe for some it'd "add to the journey". It would still seem cool to do it all. If you were in a spot for a month, then you'd get a free "drive" afterwards. And the ability to boondock with effectively unlimited battery storage would be awesome.
