"collapse" here not referring to Chapter-11: this is a comment about the state of morale and capability in crewing, not financials.

The staff in the tubes feel they are near collapse: there is no spare capacity for cabin staff, they are forced to work during what would normally be on-call but off-duty periods, the workload is causing them to wind up out of their home location in mandatory rest windows and the rostering systems are breaking down because even if bodies are available, they are in the wrong location to crew the airplane.

The article doesn't say flight deck crew. Nor does it go to safety and type certification for flight crew. The safety certification they are talking about is re-certification as cabin crew. This is vital work, but its not flight systems work, its other safety roles than piloting.

There is a lot broken in flying these days. They sacked (sorry furloughed, some other euphemism is needed here) far too many staff including ground staff, even licenced engineers, and now have no slack capacity to deal with the simultaneous burden of everyone wanting to travel again, bringing aircraft out of hibernation, crewing under covid, increased flu, and what Alan Joyce, the CEO of QANTAS likes to call "less than flight ready passengers" although blaming your customer for what is transparently your own decision to sack all ground staff and use 3rd party agents is a bit "rich" coming from a man who gets $100m in share option value this year alone.

FWIW this was... 2005-ish.
>but you'll have a small platform-specific shim around the edges to call into the shared business logic and implement the platform-specific window management and bling

No you won't. We've had cross-platform libraries like SDL to do that for ages.
Nice.

I'd appreciate a checkpoint for 'application-managed fractional scaling', i.e. a protocol extension that says "oi, Firefox, the screen you're on wants you to render at 96*1.5=144dpi". There are issues and discussions ongoing regarding this.

Everything else Wayland, including app-managed integer scaling, is working fab here. (Pop / Gnome since 40 )
They do make wind and solar plants though. And either way, even with coal feeding a thermal plant as the energy source, it is still more efficient to generate the energy and distribute it to the wheel than it is to refine, transport and burn the fossil fuel the ICE vehicle would use.
> in war everyone loses

That kinda overlooks several thousand years of history.
Isn’t the real comparison the CO2/mile of the electric Hummer versus the CO2/mile of a Malibu-weight electric vehicle?
Bitcoin is not progressive. It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Closely related, it seems the knee-on-neck restraint is taught to US police (including specifically Minnesotan police) and practiced by Israel [1,2]. Or rather, it is documented that it is used by Israeli forces against Palestinians, and those same forces taught US police counter-terrorism tactics. That they also taught the move to US police is, of course, baseless conjecture, and anyone suggesting it pays with their career.

Exactly. I know people who make $50k/year that have six month emergency funds.
Normal satellite TV services work by restricting the area the signal is broadcast to. It has limitations on how precise it can be, and the receiver is pretty much passive.

Starlink is an active two-way system. Not only are they using high precision beam guidance on both ends, the receiver also has a GPS antenna and will report it's location back to the network.

Starlink is capable of turning off groundstations that are not where they're supposed to be. Not only capable, but for 'fixed location' groundstations (i.e normal service), they actually do block service if you move too far from where your assigned service area is.
With E2EE I don't think you can even implement a reliable export on the server side.

It seems like Element is limited to only exporting a single room, though. You need something like https://gitlab.com/argit/matrix-recorder/ to export all messages, it seems.
Plenty of people would say the same of something like alcohol. Outright banning it tends to be relatively unpopular though.

That said, this is pretty different since you'd just get social pressure to move to an EU alternative.
That's not really useful, though. "Is it usable" is not one item, but a list of things that you need it to do. Enumerating those items both makes it easier for you to evaluate and gives you something concrete to point people at when explaining why it sucks.
Which also could use face recognition

I looked at your username.... and then looked to make sure it wasn't a throw-away account... because that was a bad first sign...{of an attitude problem} but you seem to really want to know.

If you want someone to pay you, you have to solve a problem for them that is beyond their current resource limits to solve themselves. They likely have a strong clue as to the nature of the solution. They certainly have all the domain knowledge as to the pain points and inefficiencies they are currently suffering.

You have to make yourself a student of their problem, let them teach you the nature of the situation... and fight the urge to solve it. There are likely ambiguities between what they meant and your perception... and these must be found. Restating what you heard in new words can help... "Let me explain it back to you, and tell me if I've missed something".

Your job in support is to route around the vocabulary, knowledge and world-view differences between you. Example from my tech-support days:

Q) Have you installed anything lately?
A) No

Q) So, you don't have any new things you can do with the computer?
A) Oh yeah, I've got this thing that lets me do X

Why did that happen? You install a car stereo... at the time (1980s) it (install) wasn't a common term... they hadn't opened up the computer, thus didn't think they'd installed anything.

Those are some of the things it's your job to route around.

If you can do that, and keep in mind the computer is a tool, in service of a job, and nothing more... you might be humble enough to do support, learn the pain points people have, and then apply the actual other skills you've spent so much time and energy acquiring, to solve their problems for their money.

I have ZERO idea about how to deal with fund raising, etc... I just know how to relate to users in a kind and effective manner.

This whole answer was based on my guess of the nature of the brick wall you've been hitting... and I fully admit I could be completely off the mark.
If you are paying 45% of your income in state/federal/FICA taxes, then your after tax income is over $330,000/year.

Oh, I see! I was looking under the matrix-org Github account so I couldn't find the source code, I probably should've looked at the vector-im tag as well.
> NATO has explicitly said its door is open to Ukraine

Could you provide any references on this? NATO needs to agree on this unanimously, and afaik several countries explicitly opposed this.

> had been pouring money, weapons

This is not true. NATO refused to even sell heavy weapons to Ukraine because afraid to anger Russia.
Ukrainians built their army by recovering 50y old tanks from soviet junk yards.

> Last year, they had held joint military exercises, with NATO troops temporarily stationed inside Ukraine.

Could you provide reference?

Ally/Marcus has 1% savings account with basically no risk. These accounts aren’t meant to grow, they’re meant to be risk free hence a relatively low rate compared to equities.
It absolutely is.

SUVs are unnecessarily large and heavy, dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, blocking the view for other drivers, causing more wear to the street surface and take up precious space when parking in cities. And for what? Hummers might be an exception, but most SUVs aren't even suitable for off-road use. Not that most owners even need that.

So yeah, it is absolutely insane for people to drive a car that causes so much harm to other road users and society as a whole for no good reason other than "me want BIG BIG CAR" and so it should be taxed to offset these effects.
Disclosure: I work for GM; what follows is SOLELY MY OWN OPINION.

I would be surprised if there are ever more than 50,000 Hummer SUV and Trucks made in a single year. For comparison, a decent year for the Malibu would be 300,000.

My perception of the Hummer EV is that it is meant to be a halo vehicle that gets people excited and in showrooms. You don't have to love it, but someone will.

Also, as other commentors have pointed out - these will largely be purchased by people who have other large SUVs. And you can't roll coal in an EV! I don't really like how ridiculously big these things have gotten either (solely my own opinion). I'd rather have a truck the size of the old Chevy S-10 or old Ford Ranger or current Ford Maverick.

For simple languages, it can be a bit of a pain to write and maintain a lexer and a parser. For example, if I'm gonna parse JSON and nothing more, I think it's a bit silly to use a two external DSLs when I could use a simple eDSL. I think Happy and Alex both have their places, absolutely. For parsing full on programming languages I can imagine using parser combinators to be a bit painful. But parser combinators work great for a lot of cases.
> Hijack one session and re-use it for other purposes

If the attacker has the ability to hijack one session they could hijack all the other n sessions from the same place anyways. So while SSO does centralize your identity, it also makes it safer because you can uniformly handle provisioning/deprovisioning, password resets, 2FA and all other policies in one place for your entire organization instead of a hundred separate ones.
> Anyone who relies on wage labor for their income (as opposed to earnings from capital) is working class.

Since when is that the definition? Doctors and lawyers have never been considered part of the "working class." Software engineers, and other categories of jobs that didn't really exist in the 1930s, are more similar to those professionals than to working class people.

> People love to erode class solidarity by claiming that only people whose incomes are below a certain level are working class

You've got it exactly backward. The top 10% has been pulling away from the median American for decades now. They're beneficiaries of the same forces that have produced outsized growth for the top 0.1%. They write the software, paper the deals, put together the PowerPoint presentations, etc., that enable those trends.

The delusion among skilled professionals that they are part of the "working class," and their influx into the putatively labor-aligned political party, has had a tremendously negative effect on working class interests. They champion policies like globalization and mass immigration that benefit them at the expense of factory and farm workers. They spent divert vast amounts of political capital to social issues important to highly educated people, at the expense of economic issues important to the working class. And they make it impossible to pay for expansive social services the way other developed countries pay for them: by heavily taxing the upper middle class.
>even I remember a time when companies, at least in principle, would invest in their employees (via stable employment, regular raises, mutual trust) in return for employees investing in the companies (innovation, extra effort, dedication, championing the company brand).

Has there ever been really any difference? I know rose colored glasses make people think times past were better in many cases, but I find no evidence that things in this regard are really any different for the majority of people.

For example, this [1] FRED historical data series shows layoff rate to be extremely flat for 20 years. BLS used to track some series also that were flat for as far as I can find data. Here's [2] a slightly different dataset that is flat back to 1967.

Any solid evidence that things have ever been any different?

> In spite of the downsides of unions, this turn of affairs is really an argument in favor of universal unionization.

Unions often drive out workers at the benefit of those getting union jobs, lowering employment. For example, see [5] and similar papers.

EDIT: 2 more datasets [3,4], back to 1919, still pretty flat.

It sounds like the main issue with this person is a lack of transparency, and lack of collaboration.

If something is supposed to happen in 1-2 days, then after 1 day, there should be some signs of progress, like some specific questions/clarifications about the task, evidence that something is being run in a local environment, etc., and then after 2 days, it there should be a working PR, evidence that the code has been run, or alternatively some specific issues that that were hit, and specific details of 'this 70% is done, that 30% is not done', and specific action items for whats next, and not some vague one more day, one more day type thing.

The purpose of communicating specific details is to foster collaboration. The person may be on the wrong track, taking the wrong approach, other team members may have tips and suggestions, or at the very least have things to learn.

It may be that the 1-2 day task ends up taking weeks or months or whatever, but if thats the case there should be specifics that are communicated and artifacts that are produced as progress is made, not just endless 'nearly there, one more day'.
Having lived in both, the thing that got me is that if you're left with 20% after you've paid for everything that month.. that's an awful lot more left over in a HCOL area.

But then everything seems geared towards parting you from that remaining 20% wherever you live :)

I do feel for those laid off, not everyone being laid off will have managed to maneuver themselves into the ideal position over their time at Twitter.
I have my qualms about Wayland, but this dashboard is quite obviously not directed at you? I don't see any suggestion that everyone should switch over now that there are a small handful of compatible apps per category.

But for someone like me, all the software I use is completely fungible except for the browser and DE, and my recent switch to Wayland could've used precisely this dashboard.

The real complaint here is that the dashboard is inaccurate, at the very least by omission. The checkbox elides the level of stability implied by "support", for software as central as Chrome
This WSJ analysis is quite good - an EV has about half the carbon emissions relative to a comparable car after 200k miles. [https://www.wsj.com/graphics/are-electric-cars-really-better...] Naturally, an EV that is much more massive than a regular car will have more emissions, use more materials to manufacture, and tear up roads quicker. Ironically, there are tax incentives towards purchasing large vehicles which destroy roads quicker.

Even if all vehicles were electric, overall emissions wouldn't budge much. [https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector] >80% of global emissions are from fossil fuels, mainly oil, coal, and gas. [https://ourworldindata.org/energy-mix] Electric vehicles require more materials to produce and require significant grid infrastructure, which is mainly powered by fossil fuels.

A carbon tax is one of the only realistic policies that could help lower carbon. There has been minimal progress in developed countries, and even less in developing ones. Sweden has the highest carbon tax at nearly 150/ton, and 1/3rd the emissions per person relative to the United States. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/483590/prices-of-impleme....] Switzerland is similar. [https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe...]
>wxWidgets

This is, in theory, what you're asking for. It's not perfect. But nobody uses it and there are few contributors. In most threads lamenting Electron, it barely gets mentioned. So:

>I really don't see any massive barrier

I think the barrier is a lack of interest. If anyone thinks about building a cross-platform native-widget GUI framework, they only have to consider briefly the near-total obscurity of wxWidgets and how much work it would take (a lot!) to even reach feature parity with the same.
Those are high yield relative to most savings accounts at the big banks.

Accountability has a cost, and it’ll be a sight to be seen if a Delaware chancery court is what applies some accountability to someone deeply unfamiliar with it.
I'm trying hard to figure out what any of this has to do with SOC 2.

Perhaps consider the phrase "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good". Okta had a shitty breach, but does that mean dropping SSO completely? What better alternatives are out there?

If you believe in "easy answers", then you are buying to the marketing and sales pitch. There is actual meaningful work being done by many that isn't easy and isn't appreciated.
It works for me on regular iOS Safari. The effect is subtle in some of them; easier to see on the ones you can toggle yourself
Well, founded in 2006, they went public in 2013 when they weren't yet profitable, and finally had their first profitable year in 2018. Musk is paying a meaningful premium. So it seems like they've actually had a pretty good run of getting everyone else to be their emergency fund.
But this still doesn't answer the question - did you register on the default server that everyone uses (matrix.org)? And in that case, you've given the exact worse case scenario: The heaviest server, being used by everyone else, with massive rooms, and constantly fighting off spam.
Ah yes. Nvidia. The green death.

At this point my systems are going to be pure AMD until status quo changes.
I begrudgingly used Nvidia while they were the better of 2 proprietary blob options but now that AMD GPUs work out of the box with no hassle (for the ones I have tried at-least) and are competitive on performance for what I do (consumer workloads/gaming) then there is no contest.

Right now I'm daily driving Wayland + Sway on Arch and it's been mostly good. Only issues I have ran into have been weirdness in the whole Alsa + Pipewire + etc stack which is hairy AF. Configuring Electron things to use Ozone auto detection makes them run native rather than via XWayland which is nice too.
Regular folks are not insiders. You can certainly pledge collateral for a loan.
>how many crimes were prevented

Is this really a reason to give up so much autonomy and let the government know your every whereabout?

Think about the implications. No government ever in the history of the world has been trustworthy. Giving the government this much power simply to 'reduce crime' looks more like a cliff than a slippery slope.
A person developing software definitionally isn't part of the proletariat or working class, they'd be defined as petite bourgeoisie. Your definition does not make sense in the archaic marxist sense nor does it represent the connotative definition of working class that is more representative of class structure in the world we're currently living in.
1) Outdated design

2) Magnitude 9 earthquake

4) Catastrophic fire causing loss of power to all control systems

One (1) person died from radiation.

Just how safe do you expect something to be?

How many fatalities would there be if there were a similar sequence of events affecting something like (e.g.) the Three Gorges Dam in China?

A lot more than one, you can bet.
You are lucidly seeing Russian propaganda for what it is, but essentially taking NATO and US propaganda at face value.

NATO is a hostile military alliance to Russia - one that is far more powerful than it in every way. To claim that Russia doesn't fear NATO, or that it has no reason to, is simply absurd.

NATO has a habit of involving itself anywhere the USA has an interest. They were "justified" in intervening against Saddam in his war with Kuwait, but of course when Saudi Arabia invades Yemen, that's not our problem, and we can still sell them "defensive weapons". When a group of 20 terrorists led and financed by a Saudi noble attacks the USA, it's the country where he was staying at the time that NATO must invade, and remain in for 20 years.

Even for Iraq 2, while NATO itself wasn't involved, several NATO states were, not just the USA - even ignoring the fact that, given their overwhelming military superiority, the lines between the USA and NATO are quite blurry.

So yes, the claims that Russia is denazifying Ukraine are utter bullshit. The claims that Ukraine has no legitimacy as a nation are utter bullshit. The claims that Russia has Ukrainians', or even Russian ethnics' best interests at heart are utter bullshit.

But so are NATO's claims that it is a purely defensive alliance and that Russia has nothing to fear from them.

It's also important to note that, had territorial expansion been the biggest aim for Putin, he has much easier, and richer, neighbour's to attack. Ukraine is impossible to hold after a hostile invasion, and Putin can't be idiotic enough not to understand that he can't control a country of 50M people. Why not attack Mongolia if he really wanted more land?

And if you think it's absurd for Russia to fear NATO, hearing NATO countries like Poland and my own Romania fearing a Russian invasion is truly comical.
> Are we allowed to call these "coal vehicles" yet?

Of course you are!

And we're allowed to think what we will of you, should you choose to do that.
Perhaps sharding data by geographical location could be one path - e.g. deploy one server in the US and another in Europe, each with its own database.

The whole concept of edge computing - deploying app servers closer to your users for minimal network latency - seems to go hand in hand with using an embedded database like SQLite. (I haven't tried it in production yet, but looking forward to.)
I've also heard this referred to as "quality of life" for developers.
And people who watch football and cheer are in fact simply salivating at the thought of people getting concussions.

People who clap when someone blows out the candles at a birthday party are in fact gleefully exclaiming over that person being a year closer to death, celebrating the impending end of their life, picturing coffins in their heads.

People who cheer when someone gets up after some incident are reveling in overpopulation and the increase of entropy, excited for the certain end of the universe.
As opposed to a dam, solar farm, or wind farm, which are also central points of disruption?
Isn't Sweden much more compact than the U.S.? Are the countries really comparable at all in size, density, standard of living and many other factors?

I visited Sweden in high school on a student exchange, many years ago, and almost no one had a car. Everyone walked and it was a tiny town. Meals were very simple - bread, cheese and little to no meat. The family I stayed with and the town in general was quite poor and lived a simple life (with lots of drugs & alcohol). Of course things could of changed dramatically since then.

I'm curious how does the carbon tax not just inflate prices across the board?
