Yeah.. first shocking thing in my transnational company was that they only have 10 days of vacation vs our usual 30... and they envy us always for our 3week long vacations, while their is usually used up already with Christmas?

Then those sentences here in multiple posts about it being normal to put in extra weekend days, wtf?

Add to this they even completely had to return to office 5days a week..

..and this is for high skilled tech workers, how bad is it for the rest? While at the same time the world seems to even now discover 4day weeks... what's going on over there? It sounds like modern slavery and you may need more unions and less socialism-fear :D

> European workers seem much more content with their work-life

So content they actually are asked and want to be kept employed with halfed work hours or similar even after retirement age, because their experience brings value to juniors, not because of the money but they don't feel like retiring but want to be further useful... not for everyone sure.

Many were JPGs (the "site" is unfortunately named based on originally being used for PNG mainly) - but yes, many were not transparent but were deemed to need to be PNG because it is "better".

There are plenty of wrappers for it that are even older than it (because they were once for mplayer/mplayer2.)

If you're confused that the programmers of media playing and manipulating software aren't interested in GUIs that plenty of other people have volunteered to write, I don't know what to tell you.

My favorite (really the only one I've used for many years) is smplayer. It gets everything about GUI right that VLC gets horribly wrong. Notably, its developers only work on a GUI, and don't develop mpv. It's cross-platform, too.

Square tiling is very obvious, as you can see from the first example [0]. Hex tiling shifts tiles to a less obvious pattern. Also, as I can see from the video, tiles can be rotated while hiding the seams perfectly, which eliminates repetition altogether.

Congratulations on your decision to be part of the problem?
Sure, you're just getting started, I can think of many more problems. I just kind of think it speaks to how little the author has thought about the problem? As in, "you're really not describing a remotely new idea, and consequently have clearly also not thought about the drawbacks, either."

Both systems are a fraction of the size of an ATX case and as efficient as they needed to be to meet their predetermined convective cooling needs. In both cases, profit margin is increased by reducing material and shipping volume requirements.

A similar single heatsink design for high end PCs would need to be much larger than either of those designs but considering how much empty space is in an ATX case, I don't think it would be much larger than current PCs.

Consider that the best PC cooling solutions all look like this: https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/01/18/cpucooler-1280-149617...

Or pass liquid through a radiator with comparable volume, standardizing the contact points for a single block heatsink with larger fans would make computers more efficient and quiet.

I think it's fair to say that, however you look at it, the quote is using "hard times" and "good times" from the perspective of the in-group, not any out-group. So, whatever destruction Alexander visited on those he conquered is kind of irrelevant to this quote - the only thing that would matter for checking whether the quote applies is whether Alexander improved the lot of his own people. That is, was he a strong man who was created by the hard times of his youth/parents' generation, and did he create good times for his own people?

Per the quote, the people Alexander conquered should themselves be considered weak men who will leave hard times for their children (being conquered/looted by Alexander, who they couldn't win against because of their weakness); but whose children, or grandchildren, will be stronger than them and create good times anew.

I don’t care either way; all I was calling out that solving the problem generating more industrial waste is contributing to the problem.

Your real issue is with physics not me.

On the one hand, you claim my choices have no consequence and on the other if I choose to ignore suffering, I’m part of the problem. Industrial solutions create suffering and death through accidents, toxicity… just creating more of the same suffering.

You have a real issue with basic logic. Pound sand; your tough sounding words don’t wave off that physics makes it all impotent rage.

i don't use many webapps at all. an etherpad here or there, github/gitlab, stackoverflow. most work related sites are research into problems or documentation or learning new stuff (blogs, videos).

manually adding apps/sites is to much work since i want to add everything.

when debugging an issue i have related sites all over the place, that i want to group somehow. same when doing research for a new project, or simply when dealing with multiple customers. i use firefox where i can manually group tabs into containers. that helps, but it doesn't cover history, so if i close a tab, the page is no longer associated with the project. for bookmarks, i have to remember to bookmark each page, but then i can't tell which ones are more important or more recent. it would be nice to if grouping could be more automatic based on heuristics like keywords found in the page and also tab history.

I suspect you're going to find out in 50 years when government documents (not inherently US gov) are declassified.

State level spying is the only thing I can think of where the value of the information is so high (making the effort of this kind of attack is worth it) and where there are many scenarios where the volume of highly valuable information is comparatively tiny.

Just as some very off the cuff examples of what I mean by the latter. We don't need to exfiltrate satellite photos of things (gigabytes of data), but, it could be very valuable to exfiltrate the metadata of what they are looking at (coordinates and time)

Also, exfiltrating information like names of sources or meeting points or other methods can be trivial amounts of data but finding even a single compromised person on our side would be immensely valuable!

From a recent blog post here.

Reading this next to a treatise comparing a new iPhone to a Google Pixel is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the internet lately. Thank you sincerely for that.
If we don't implement universal basic income, we are utterly screwed.

Markets where one side is desperate are inelastic, which means that a small change in supply or demand can cause huge price swings. Usually, this works against those who are out of power; for example, oil producers can cause price spikes if they can hold a cartel together. The job market is also extremely inelastic. We might only see 10 or 20 percent of truck-driving jobs automated out of existence by 2032, but that will have devastating effects on wages.

The idea that this only threatens low- and middle-skill workers is also absurd. Look at programming. Agile Scrum has given managers the ability to replace those expensive, fussy high-skill experts with chain gangs of far less capable people who barely qualify as software engineers. If it can happen to software engineers, it can happen to anyone, and the broad-based effects on the labor market (collapses of one industry triggering refugee crises into other ones) are going to be horrible.

Anything you do as a subordinate can and will be automated, if not entirely, at least enough to make possible a massive wage cut. Of course, that's not a bad thing. On its own, it's the opposite. The problem is that the financial penalties associated with automation invariably go to the workers, and the benefits go only to capital.

We have about ten years left on the "if ya doesn't work, ya doesn't eat" model.
The idea the fee remains small in the case of Bitcoin-likes is questionable. If "mining" rewards no longer exist, then who's fronting the money to pay to run the network?

Interestingly car radios have the same "how do you set the time" problem, and arguably a clock is more useful in a car anyway - but almost all of them set the time to 12:00 when they get power back. They don't blink.

Which means that if you can't figure out how to set the time, you can just remember to disconnect the battery just before noon, and then reconnect it.

The flashing clock on a VCR is actually an error message because if it lost power/lost time, it won't record correctly until you tell it what time it is.

But if you have no timed recording setup, there's no need to report that error.
"Mainstream" news is far closer to correct than the alternatives. Faux Noise and it's allies are terrible.

However, I do agree it's about eyeballs, not quality reporting. Everyone's guilty of that, the only question is how far they distort things to attract those eyeballs. An honest news outfit couldn't survive these days.
The market cap measure is mostly okay but requires also looking at volume on reputable exchanges.

Looking at price when volume is low is foolish, even with stocks. With crypto you must consider price, volume, and the cost of faking that volume.
I feel the same way. In the end, privacy concerns won over public recognition for me.

You can have multiple eSIM profiles downloaded, but very few phones support having multiple eSIM profiles active at the same time. That would require having two eSIM chips either internally or externally. Google's working on Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) for Android 13, which would make that possible. Not sure what approach Apple's already using for its iPhones.
It's not an "aversion" it has been up to this point an unnecessary luxury expense (before all of a sudden the temperatures started inching up).

I'm sure there's been a huge run on AC units in the UK and in years following I'm sure the shops will be stocking them quite a bit more.

It's the same story as Portland/Seattle/Vancouver area where previously it only got genuinely hot for like two weeks and AC wasn't really that required, but then we had that absolutely nutso heat dome last year, and that changed everyone's thinking. People have bought AC units and now we're seeing that AC is standard in new apartments in Vancouver.
post your pubkey and only you will know the answer
I found this (https://phys.org/news/2022-05-diatoms-threat-decline-due-oce...), which is possibly concerning for diatoms:

> As a result of ocean acidification, the silicon shells of diatoms dissolve more slowly. This is not an advantage—it causes diatoms to sink into deeper water layers, before they chemically dissolve and are converted back into silica. Consequently, this nutrient is more efficiently exported to the deep ocean and thus becomes scarcer in the light-flooded surface layer, where it is needed to form new shells. This causes a decline in diatoms, according to the scientists in their recent publication.

The paper predicts a modest 13–26% decline by 2200 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04687-0

The App Store still has a fleeceware problem that affects millions of iOS users
Yeah... but I mean, if the computer is in a steel/aluminum box (likely) then both the distances and locations you can be to be able to intercept that 6ghz signal are pretty limited.

It's a neat attack, but to pull it off you pretty much need both physical access AND the ability to install virused software on the target. Perhaps something the CIA/NSA pull off such as stuxnet? Even then, the point of an air-gapped computer is that installing such software would be pretty difficult in the first place.
Thank you for show casing the true reality of the GPU progress and that there is still no H/W acceleration yet which is more straight to the point and accurately concise than most of the Linux fans vaguely screaming 'iT w0RkS'. I don't care about that.

If there is no H/W acceleration, then it is not useful as a daily driver at all.

We wait until there is proper support of H/W acceleration before using such a system. Otherwise all your memory eating programs or graphical intensive apps will run the computer to the ground.
Thanks kindly for the suggestions. I'll check some of them out.
My needs are pretty basic, so it's been fairly smooth sailing so far. I love that I can use EF to generate join tables without needing to create entity classes for them, while still retaining the ability to customize field/table names and such.

Back in the day I transitioned from coding to management in the period where Linq to SQL was being phased out, while EF was still very half-baked, so I've had a healthy dose of skepticism picking it up years later. But so far I'm quite impressed (while double checking that every query generates reasonable SQL).

I don't think so. Imagine someone wrote an AI that is able to act exactly like you. To the point that no one you know can differentiate between you and the AI. Would it be OK at that point if they just killed you? No one can tell the difference, right?
