Look, it's been really useful to know that Austria has very, very different rules around layoffs (honestly, I would not have expected this to be the case), but it's potentially worth just specifying Austria (rather than Europe) in your posts about layoffs/firings, as the laws are very, very different across countries.
This kind of communication seems like an interesting problem for Starlink (or other satellite internet constellations) to solve. What if the satellites had extra antennas pointed outwards and relayed the data back to the ground at high bandwidth?

Seems like it would avoid a lot of the issues like atmospheric interference, frequency congestion, and careful placement of receiver infrastructure.

Can verify this is highly important. E.g. using the letters 'Af' as a prefix for a product marketed in Africa. Turns out that is a very offensive word.

Nice article. For those less handy, I have the following unsolicited recommendations:

* APC have a special offer on Amazon for a 1.4kVA UPS for £130. It's a nicely made piece of kit that will run a PC setup with monitor for an hour or so (depending on power consumption, obviously).

* For 12V equipment, a CCTV camera power supply can be had off ebay for £30 or so. Nice steel case, floating battery charger included. 12V to USB adapters are the same as those used in cars, so USB equipment can be readily charged/supplied if necessary.

* Lastly, low end switches such as the likes of Netgear are often constructed around a power supply brick that is simply enclosed in a case with the IEC connector exposed. It's simple to remove it, and power it direct from a 12V supply.
You probably have two cameras as a photographer. Use them to take pictures of each other.
I always wonder why is nobody considering simply introducing "heavy" weights for every person to wear on planetary body like a moon? A sort of inverse-exoskeleton if you wish.

For an average 75kg person, you'd need to add roughly 5x (375kg) to their weight to reach parity between Moon and Earth, which if done with iron or steel would need less than 50l of volume spread around the body. Heavier metals could be used for an even lower volume, of course (though you'd want to avoid poisonous metals like lead, mercury or osmium), though you might hit other bottlenecks (gold and platinum are 2.5x denser, and iridium even more so, but price comes into play — perhaps locally sourcing them on other "rocky" planets is more feasible).

This does not resolve all of the issues mentioned in the article (like the effect on our internal organs, childbirth and such), but can definitely target a bunch of externally accessible muscles to keep them from getting atrophied.

Perhaps this will be a cheap solution for those not living in the rotating megastructures. I should start collecting gold to be able to go sightseeing on the Moon.

I had a coworker recently tell me I was culturally appropriating the Buddha (I'm a Buddhist) presumably because I am "from the West". Apart from being one of the most offensive things I've ever been told (before anyone jumps on me for this: I can still observe it as offensive regardless of my attachment to the offense) it confirmed for me that whatever is going on in the US with identity politics has jumped the shark.

You do not need to be of a skin color, creed, gender or class to take refuge in the Buddha's teachings. The dharma is for all.
Is there any pictures or video of it? I couldn't find anything in the repo.
Calories surplus equals weight gain. Are you saying you disagree with that? Because it sounds like you don't believe that.
That’s indeed contrary and disrespectful of their original intent, but why does it matter what culture does it?

If people from a traditionally Buddhist country like Nepal disrespected Buddhist ideas, it would presumably be just as disrespectful as if people from America did, so I don’t think “cultural appropriation” is the right way to analyze this.

By the way, practically every religion has been transformed and warped so much over time as to be almost unrecognizable. This again is normal human behavior.
Definitely true, and my comment was without a doubt extremely oversimplified and wrong in several respects in an attempt to explain the analogy. Thank you for giving the clarification on it.

This is the type of articles we (data junkies) need to see and read! Highly interesting to see the transmission rates, storage capacity and other data related considerations that went through the design of James Webb telescope.

When I applied for grad school (long ago) they just said it was better to experience another department. The undergrad classes we similar enough to the grad classes that it was good to see a different approach. So if you had a family reason (spouse's job etc) that meant you needed to stay in the area, then they'd let you apply. Otherwise, they wouldn't write recommendation letters to our department.

Not quite. Terminating a process releases its filehandles, and if any sockets are now unreferenced, they are closed. But if there is a live filehandle in another process, the socket stays alive.

You can send socket file handles over UNIX domain sockets, so you could use this to export your list of sockets to persist over restart.

And in a typical year, France generates 72% from nuclear and exports lots of power to the rest of the European grid. There are serious issues to resolve, but that's why you interconnect grids.

The real issue with Frances nuclear reactors: they are all over 20 years old, and 51/58 of them are over 30 years old. If they don't get on building replacements asap, they won't have any functional reactors.

This is why I don’t work at a corporation, because the entire model is awful. It’s great at making money, but that’s about the only redeeming quality as far as I’m concerned. If corporations were countries, they would be dictatorships. If corporations are people as the Supreme Court would have us believe, they are most certainly psychopaths.

As much as people complain about academia here, I’ve found a home where layoffs don’t have to happen. There’s a permanent home here for people with tenure, guaranteed for life. We vote on who our boss is and they serve a limited term, after which they return to the rank and file. We have a democratic body that has power at the university level and we all get a vote. We vote on practically every decision made in the department.

And even if you don’t have tenure and there is no need for you in the future, you don’t find out about that on Friday with your income, healthcare, relationships, and housing all in question by Monday. How anxiety inducing! We tell you at least a semester in advance instead of escorting you out like a potential arsonist looking to burn the place to the ground. And imagine that, the place is still standing.

Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot wrong with the model at many levels — it’s political and dogmatic, inefficient and bureaucratic. But at least it’s a different model that doesn’t have to be cruel by nature.
Yeah I imagine that happens a fair amount, but thankfully it's not always the case. We just have to hope that for every attempt to make a STALKER or Worms sequel w/ NFT tie-ins (blegh), there's a Doom Eternal or a Monkey Island.

No, not at all. They released services and software to make integrations easier on these platforms but the toolset is becoming stale and more effort goes into k8s (on several different clouds, depending on project)

I have gotten into writing and self-publishing fiction. It's not as physically tangible as moving into farming or woodworking, but feels far enough from programming to sort of count in this same category. When (re)-discovering that I really liked writing I also took on an SE role that involved both coding and technical writing. I love coding and don't think I'll ever want to stop doing it, but I realised that over the years this one hobby turned into a profession and then turned into my entire identity and sole preoccupation. Trying something totally different, like writing fiction, seems to have helped me to break free a bit of the box I built around myself.

But I do still dream of also starting a chicken rescue farm.

> That's quite a stretch. Ask any engineer about having that a-ha moment in the shower, or when out for a walk. Downtime is incredibly important for mentally intense work.

I agree but I think you’ll find that working usually contributes economic value. Not working usually doesn’t. The key word being usually. if you’re in doubt, just try to record the economic value delivered by your downtime. How many hours are idled for every a-ha moment? Not that there is anything wrong with idling…

> That doesn't mean that the US prioritizes work., and it definitely doesn't mean that Germany doesn't prioritize work.

I’m using productivity as a measurement. Ideally, productivity accounts for inefficient work by comparing inputs (labor) to economic outputs. The U.S. is more productive in this sense, so it’s more than just butts in seats.
The SEPA Instant Credit Transfer scheme introduced in 2017 introduced 10-second transfers. Not all banks are participating yet, particularly in (south-)eastern Europe, but it's a fast growing share, and in my home country (the Netherlands) just about everyone does.
The exact same thing can be said about anything. Judaism appropriated pre existing ideas and disrespected them by insisting on a single god. Christianity appropriated judaism and disrespected it by removing covenant practices such as circumcision and adding new ideas such as the kingdom of heaven being available to anyone not just “the chosen people”. Islam appropriated christianity and disrespected it by demoting Jesus from the son of god to a mere prophet.

This is how ideas work. And it’s not just religion. Think of left wing thought. The original communist ideology was revolutionary. Social democrats appropriated ideas from them but believe working within the system. Many hard left people despise social democrats and believe they do more harm than good.

You don't have anything of value on that machine, at least not yet. The user entered their Windows login creds into the fake prompt, but the Windows partition itself is still encrypted.

Now, if this is a Microsoft account whose login creds you've stolen, and if the user doesn't have 2FA set up on their account / you are in a position to manipulate them into allowing the 2FA, then yes you can get into their Microsoft Account and access the data there. And if the recovery key is easily extractable from there as AshamedCaptain said in their comment, then yes you have access to the encrypted disk too. And of course if they reused those creds on other websites you have those too, yada yada.

But still, we are still talking about default configurations, right? You still haven't addressed my point that this evil maid attack already works on any machine where the UEFI isn't password-protected by default.

Agreed, there are so many areas where the US trails the rest of the world as far as technology is concerned. The Australian taxation system tech would probably be enough to make most US citizens cry for what they have to endure, and I'm not even sure it's the best one out there.

Paying on credit card in the US was painful compared to the experience in Australia a few years ago. Australia had tap-to-pay everywhere and so many places in the US were still requiring swipe and signature (I mean WTF).

I have found SEPA to be quite good. Australia has PayID as well which works well.

To cherry-pick, Estonia is leading the world when it comes to digital government. It has been an absolute pleasure to use their e-resident system to run a company. They're fostering a startup ecosystem that is punching well above it's weight[0]. From autonomous delivery robots[1] to Wise.

Government technology can often lag behind private sector technology, both from an inately conservative approach, but also because they have to care about things that often get ignored with private sector tech, like supporting everyone (e.g. robust accessibility).

But to say that Europe is 20-30 years behind is just not a realistic view of the world.

Indeed. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on the word “appropriate” , “to make it your own.” Basically the more academic wording of “you made this? I made this.” meme.

As long as you don’t pretend you created Buddhism or are an infallible authority of Buddhism it’s not appropriation.

Personally I find the word not really appropriate with what we are trying to convey which I assume would be something along the lines of “disrespectful usage of other peoples cultures or practices.”

It's like people want these things written down in no-holes legalese. While at the same time people will misinterpret what others are saying (see "straw man argument"; people are quick to jump to conclusions about people about what they say and don't say).

Here's a religious code people can live by: "Don't be a dick". I'm sure that summarizes all the good parts of organized religions and philosophies. It's also the most difficult one to adhere to for a lot of people.

If you want a simple, easily understood cache and didn't want to write all the logic using GenServers and ETS you could use dcache.

Nebulex looks more complicated than dcache, just comparing the getting started info: "In order to give more flexibility and loading only needed dependencies, Nebulex makes all its dependencies as optional." Then it goes on to describing shards, decorators, telemetry and external adapters like Cachex and Redis. So before I can run `mix deps.get` to include this package I now have to make decisions or at least read thru what those things are for this package.

I prefer picking simple dependencies and add complexity later on if needed.
I agree. I'd like to see more of that kind of thing, hereabouts.

You are right. RSS values cannot be added. Imagine if there are 3 processes, each use 100 Mb of shared memory and 100 Mb of private. Summing the RSS we will get 200 + 200 + 200 = 600 Mb, however the true memory consumption is 100 (shared) + 100 + 100 + 100 = 400 Mb.

To count the memory properly, you should divide size of shared segments by number of processes using it. This is how PSS in Linux is implemented. You can safely add PSS values of different processes. If you have swap, you should also sum swap usage by processes.

As I understand, you can reliably count memory usage only in Linux because other OSes like Windows or Mac do not provide PSS in their Task Managers. Windows Task Manager at least has a documentation that describes what "memory" column means, and I failed to find such documentation for Mac, so we can safely assume that it displays random numbers remotely related to memory usage.

They're not, no. Think of PaaS as like Heroku, whereas Notify us more like Sendgrid (ie a SaaS) and DesignSysten is like MaterialUI.

I actually paraphrased a lot of parts from the OP. I guess (guess because you don't mention the reasons why this is "not careful nor measured") you are one of these people who think that as long as there is some key combination that allows a Linux distribution to boot, there is no reason whatsoever to complain ?

Well, sorry, but no. I will sound the alarm way before the only way to install Linux (or any other OS) is to disassemble the laptop and hit some physical switch that will cause a Scary Boot Prompt to be permanently shown on my device, reminding me that I'm booting an "unsupported OS" and that "someone could be doing this to steal my personal data", and requiring me to acknowledge it by waiting 30 seconds before it proceeds to boot my actual OS. Every Single Time I boot the device. I will complain loudly way before we reach that on PCs.

Cause that's exactly what I had to do to run Linux on a Chromebook. And Google also seems to think that because they allow me to run some Linux distros under a heavily curtained container inside their OS, "all's good". Google does not get a free pass from me, why should MS?
I'm not sure which is more disrespectful, but I do think the two situations are different. If I'm immersed in a culture or practice and I reject some aspects of it, from a place of familiarity, that means something different--maybe something more disrespectful!--that if I display the trappings of a culture without understanding what they mean.
Thanks, that makes sense.

To the other comments: I understand that a woman undergoes many changes when she goes through menopause. I was curious about which one in particular would be relevant here.
For sure, that's what managers do; sometimes for good reason, but often it's just a numbers game.

I've seen this a few times; companies live by their values, until it comes down to money, then it's "just business". It's the public marketing face, and plenty of people are happy to live under its delusion, only to be confronted with the hard truth when it's time for reorganizations.
