> Using your example of background checks it’s probably more valuable to have proper acls and audit trail internally than doing background checks which is a really low signal compared to the level of hassle

I agree with your idea, but background checks are a poor example. They're negligable cost, always outsourced, and trivial to perform. They're worth doing if only to validate that your candidate said the same things as the background check says (if they say they're not a felon and they are, that's a red flag -- if they admit to it and explain why, you're not being lied to). In contrast, you actually need to spend time working on audit trails and stuff. One is hiring a vendor and checking a box, one is probably engineering work.
This is just unfounded prejudice and stock racism. Do you have anything to backup this claim about anyone in particular?
Facebook is the umbrella org for all the products.
Lol. But it's actually worse than that; Firefox enables telemetry by default and then ignores everyone who opts out, but I'm not aware of any Linux distros that enable it by default (Ubuntu apparently used to, until it silently broke and then they removed it: https://itsubuntu.com/no-more-popularity-contest-package-by-...).
Or keep your floor free of sharp things and relax, even stumbling around in the middle of the night. It’s not hard - the kids legos things being an exception.

> I'm still hopeful we'll get a high-quality cross-platform GUI framework out of the Rust ecosystem at some point. But unfortunately it's looking like it might be at least a decade away at the moment.

Given the way Rust has evolved, I don't really hold much hope that it'll be any better than the existing options. Rust keeps intriguing me, but then I start looking into it, and everything is just extremely complex. I'm not sure I have the time to really learn it or will even like it. For my own work that I'm doing, I'm using F#.
Some of it is supply: the manufacturers build more and the dealers find ways to sell them. Those marketing efforts drive what average people "want". (That's the role of marketing.)

Some of it is a brinksmanship snowball: If I'm safer in a bigger vehicle when more other people are driving bigger vehicles, I need a bigger vehicle.

Some of is budgets: There are a lot of sub-factors here, but one key viewpoint is that there are two very strong markets with very different goals. The new buyer is looking at marketing, and swayed by fashion trends, on average more likely to trade in for the "newest model" for aesthetic or fashion reasons on a regular basis. The used buyer is more budget/maintenance driven, more likely to use a car for utilitarian purposes than treat it as a fashion symbol, more likely to drive the car for longer. Car companies are selling to that first buyer and what they (think) they want, they don't care about the used car market because they don't get their cut of the used car market. There are arguably a lot more used buyers and car companies don't care what they want. To some extent they take what they can get after the "fashionistas" get bored and don't express their wants all that directly.

Some of it is maintenance: The average maintenance life for sedans still seems to be much higher than trucks/SUVs. Longer maintenance life is longer life in the used markets and longer life on the road. It's anecdotal data, but have you ever car watched and tried to estimate the average model year of the cars that pass you by? To me SUVs and Trucks almost always look at most five years old, but you'll see all sorts of 10, 15, 20 year old sedans.

I think those last two points are especially important asterisk to that "Americans don't buy sedans" from the anecdotal perspective of what you see on the road: Americans don't buy new sedans regularly. Sedans seem to last 20 years on "average". Sedans are rarely "fashionable". Sedan buyers favor good long maintenance life. It was the "lesson" of the 80s wave when Japanese manufacturers proved Americans were desperate for reliable, easily maintained sedans and compacts. It was again the "lesson" of the late 00s wave when Korean manufacturers proved Americans were desperate for reliable, easily maintained sedans and compacts. It seems like a "lesson" doomed to repeat roughly every 20 years as old ones age out of the used market. (I think the current EV manufacturers are ignoring/forgetting the "lesson" at their own peril. It could be someone new and fresh like the Chinese this time taking advantage of the used market's huge desire for reliable, easily maintained EV sedans and compacts.)
> this specific group in this specific location has an outsized number of people that are aiding terrorist organizations

Can you back that up with anything at all? That is a very dangerous accusation, and obviously plays to prejudice and racism regardless of intentions. It seems it should be stated very specifically and with clear evidence.

Edit: Someone else posted an article. I still think that nobody should make claims like that without being specific and having evidence. 64 people do not indict an entire community. What does the OP imply about DHS, for example?

> most immigrants are law-abiding and good citizens

Most people are law-abiding and good citizens, but some are not. It has nothing to do with immigration status. I happen to think that all people were created equal, regardless of where they were born.
Know next to nothing about dynamics and constraints of maritime SatCom, but...

Seen number of comments about the costs, but honestly wondered why the “one-time hardware cost of $10,000 for two high performance terminals” could not be replaced with a hand mounted cheaper DIY rig using the existing Starlink terminals. Guessing, though might be wrong, that Starlink already has this happen using the existing coastal coverage.

On the same note, guess most people don’t need 24/7 connections. Why not just charge 0.33 a min, which would still be a 3x over the $5000 month rate and enable Starlink to extend further into the market.

Any thoughts on why this would not make sense aside from whatever Starlink’s biases & business objectives are?
The first of most things are indeed expensive. I think it makes sense to pay $5000 for _reliable_ communications at sea. This is not that… yet.

1% per what? 1% per GWh? Coal power kills a huge number of people through air pollution, and that's during regular operation. So for me personally, coal power is much more scary than nuclear power.
The exercise is not about whether you'll be missed afterwards. Its to elicit the reflection on "What behaviour in my life would result in that effect?" It's about reflecting on what it takes to be a good person - and then living accordingly. You may be entirely alone in this world, parents dead, no siblings, no partner, no children and not even friends - but you can still perform this thought exercise and live accordingly.
IMHO _recent_ DUIs are more relevant then a lot of "not at all" recent much more serve things.

DUI is a sign of gross recklessness and apathy for the well being of others. Sure I won't blame a young adult for doing this mistake and there are situations where it's understandable (i.e. some kind of emergency making you DUI even through you generally are against it).

But still I would prefer to work with someone who in the youth due to poverty has committed robbery (but not anymore since 20 years), then someone who in their 40th who is frequently driving under influence of alcohol.

Anyway even if I had a company and it for whatever reason would do background checks I wouldn't want to know the outcome as long as whoever is responsible for it following some strict guidelines didn't judge it to be a problem (and no if it's not a car company it wouldn't contain DUI, and generally I don't like background checks).

I think much of the friction in this discussion is that we mean different things with "Chernobyl can happen again".

Chernobyl lacked many security features that are standard on all modern reactors. The biggest flaw was it had no containment structure. That's the steel & concrete dome which, if the worst happens, keeps the melted uranium contained within it.

That alone would have made the Chernobyl disaster just a bad local industrial accident, and that's the main thing I mean when I say it can't happen again. Though it's far from the only security improvement modern reactors have over Chernobyl.

> But that doesn't mean it's impossible

This is the "you never know!" argument. The good and bad part of it is the same: It is always true! Any thinkable disaster, can conceivably happen, and maybe you "should" be worried about it.

Of course, applied consistently, it would lead to total paralysis. This is no way to rationally approach risk.
It's worse, turns out in the end it's just 0s and 1s.
Yes - a classic public goods problem. Lots of global inequities with minimal interest in solving. The average standard of living is substantially lower than developed countries, and global resource expenditure would skyrocket if parity occurred.

It's a prerequisite for relevant discussion. That it happens everywhere is just a sign of how discussion is degrading everywhere.

Sure, you can just come into a thread and start a blog about the awesome breakfast you had, or guess what the article is about based on the title alone and pontificate on whatever triggers you, or just shoot whatever shit is on your mind, but that isn't something to be encouraged in a community whose purpose is supposed to be intellectual curiosity, in a thread with an actual topic at hand. You can't satisfy your own intellectual curiosity by never engaging your intellect with new material, much less anyone else's.

Otherwise, what's the point of having articles to begin with? Let's just have dang turn this place into a generic text forum and be done with it. Let's just make it /b/ without the pictures and any semblance of humor.
I’ve been using Wayland for over a year with screen sharing, photo editing, video production.

Definitely less Jane resizing windows with Wayland.
I agree with you, although perhaps for slightly different reasons:

As of 2022, within the vicinity of almost any mechanical watch, there are likely to be tens or perhaps hundreds of inexpensive satellite-based location-estimation devices (GNSS) - inside smartphones, vehicles, internet-of-things devices, etc. There are also purely radio-based clock signals.

Those receivers, which are usually entirely passive (receive-only) measure accurate time signals as a component of their functionality.

It's important (and useful!) to track time accurately, and there's certainly nostalgia/envy aplenty to be had in the notion that our ancestors (who may have grown up in an era prior to GNSS) express their devotion through the symbolic hand-me-down of mechanical watches, but... perhaps it's sensible not to be pressured by the hype and -- nowadays -- irrational financial cost (of which, despite the ostensibly factual nature, I think this article is part).

I guess a less trite and more actionable way to state this would be: consider saving yourself the economic cost of a mechanical watch (first-hand or second-hand), and instead spend literal time with the person you love and intended to provide it to - potentially using the amount saved to help fund and remember the moment.

Similarly: if that person would have preferred an expensive timepiece to actual time spent with you, then.. I suppose it's a good deal either way?
We did a month of boat touring around Italy/ex-Yugoslavia last year and mobile coverage in anchorages is very much hit or miss. Generally ok for browsing but video calls worked ok may be 30% time. Essentially you can't count that you can take work call and have decent experience. Huge inconvenience. I had a few "can't miss" calls and essentially I had to get to city 1-2 hours beforehand and then look for hotel/coffeeshop with decent wifi .

> I didn't. They shouldn't either. It's a harder job, with less perks, for less money.

This is 100% correct. Stay far, far away from semiconductor companies until the salaries come up where they belong.

> The real question is why do the existing hardware engineers keep doing what they are doing when they could be making double just by picking up the phone and talking to a recruiter?

1) Because those of us who are good at hardware engineering aren't making half of what software people make--we're making the same or more.

2) Because the people in hardware probably don't have knowledge of the "modern" web stack idiocies. A remarkable amount of hardware still runs on VB6! (the last useful desktop development environment)

3) Because the super high salaries at the FAANGs are an anomaly--as we are seeing from all the layoffs.

4) Because I do things that require my in person presence in a lab, I can't be outsourced. Everybody wants to only work from home, but they forget that if you can only work from home you can be replaced by somebody cheaper.
That's a low barrier for what is meant by managing multiple windows.

What I mean by "managing multiple windows" is a single OS-process and application managing multiple windows: creating them, destroying them, hiding them, etc. Electron cannot do this. You are basically creating separate applications that talk to each other through inter-process communication. I mean, it says it right there in the link you posted. The process model of Electron is complex.

Here's how you create multiple windows in my in-work prototype:

let windowing = Windowing()
windowing.Initialize()
windowing.CreateWindow("Window 1")
windowing.CreateWindow("Window 2")
windowing.CreateWindow("Window 3")

while(windowing.WindowsAreOpen) do
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
Seems like you don't wish to say what process was used to manage Smalltalk source code on the project you describe as a "nightmare"?

Oh well.
That’s false; brokerages make enough money from retail customers with payment for order flow.
For all is warts, electron does make things like this more consistent across distros end environments, as shown in the reproducibility of this issue.
Very similar things can be said about a number of papers, from all sorts of different ideological persuasions.
You mean like eventual consistency vs immediate consistency? Because a database that reflects its changes at the end of a transaction is called an ACID database not a real-time database.
Interesting theory, but the wayback machine has this page archived back to Jan 2022 [0].

I have a standard, regularly updated Ubuntu 22.04.

I do appreciate your response but ironically you're also demonstrating exactly the point I was trying to make. As long as I have to worry about installing x-y-z-beta (but make sure it's the one from two weeks ago because last week's had a regression) to make essential basic functionality work we aren't really talking about a serious offering for normal users.

In reality like almost every other Ubuntu user I've talked to in real life about this I just switch back to X if I need to screen share. And if that stops working I'll switch from Ubuntu to something that does. Like building my own PC with micro-optimised component choices, tweaking Linux system software was interesting for a while and sometimes got great results, but life's too short to keep doing that forever. Now I just want something that does its job.
Seldom do I see any of the OpenSuse flavors touted on here. Curious about the reasons why, general perceptions, etc. Its been around a long time, has many users, but seemingly not much support here or in the web media generally.
401k “loans” are a misnomer. There’s no underwriting or leverage. It’s an unpenalized withdrawal with payback (as opposed to regular early withdrawals, which are penalized).
One problem is that companies like to talk about these stock grants as if they are as good as regular salary (and employees seem to play along, using terms like "total comp" and ascribing some definite dollar value to it). But they really aren't. So it is a bit of a deceptive marketing.
The part of this that escapes me is that after a certain point one would more than likely have been, by historical accounts, better off the invest in equites. Then again, I am more of a proponent for emergency plans instead of just emergency funds.

However, if one wants to hold a portion of bonds and a sub-portion of said bonds happen to be I-Bonds, then I see no issues with that.
The article points out that it will be astronomical twilight, which most people aren't able to notice visually:

> This is especially true for those who reside on the outermost edge of the twilight zones, within the darkest twilight phase called astronomical twilight. Here, the Sun is 12-18 degrees below the horizon. At that angle, the indirect sunlight becomes so thin that it is usually indiscernible to the naked eye.

The article suggests 83% to 90% (not 99%) of people will find it to be light out (daylight or civil twilight) ... not including Californians.

It's possible in the sense of how webapps do it, because that's basically how Electron does it. Electron creates several different processes that talk to each other through an inter-process communication model. Electron's process model is rather complex.

They didn't just destroy airfields, they also destroyed aircraft. 450 in total, across the Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian Air Forces.

Shortly after starting a job I saw a spreadsheet my boss had made with a section labeled "Upcoming Resources" with my name and start date underneath. The phrasing caught my eye and it felt a bit weird to be written down like a bushel of wheat, but I certainly wasn't offended by it.
