Lobbying Danish politicians won't change the GDPR. The end goal here is either to get US companies to respect EU citizens' privacy, or for EU companies to step in and provide an alternative.
I think you are committing the common engineer's fallacy of examining a situation with Vulcan like logic, reaching a conclusion, and then applying it to a social process.

> A metric that says everyone is under-performing isn't a pretext to dodge accusations of an illegal or otherwise not good pattern of firing anymore than not having the metric at all is.

Just because you (and indeed I) think that way doesn't mean the actual social and institutional actors involved will. In any given hearing for a given matter impacting a single employee the data about all the other employees won't even be available to reach the conclusion you discussed. It would take a much bigger more well funded legal action to push the argument you are making. In fact, how do you even know that US law even allows the argument you are making? It very well may or may not.

It's not a perfect tool, but as I said, it's another tool in the toolbox to muddy the waters and make it more expensive and complex to challenge a dismissal.

I think the way you mentally model socioeconomic and legal processes in the human world is not very true to life. Pure logic is not any sort of big magical trump card. Humans are not rational actors.
Thanks, it's a little clearer in my mind now. But wouldn't this work for you?

#include <stdio.h>

{
printf("%d %d %d\n", __COUNTER__, __COUNTER__, __COUNTER__);
FOO();

> Why would Republicans dislike Musk more now

That's easy to answer: hostile media coverage and negativity on social media.

What do you think is driving the change from April to June if not his Twitter acquisition and identifying as a Republican?
this person makes one important point with regards to the reasons for adaptability of RISC-v.
X86 is a monopoly of the US government via intel and amd. they can literally force these companies to pull out of a nation, crippling their entire life through and through.

people do not like that believe it or not. its not fun having the USA hold your country hostage because you do not have alternatives. ARM is the same so RISC-V is a good contender to get behind for entire nations because they can fall back on this and besides, if there is no monopoly of x86/arm in the first place because RISC-v or some other architecture is common, the american armtwisting is reduced as the attack surface would be smaller.

china, russia, iran, india can develop their own thing, separate or together but not dependent on american generosity that can turn hostile, as it has in the past

Thanks for making me smile. Some of us are working on exactly that kind of thing :)
I’m not a female, but work for a women-owned tech company with a predominantly female staff, and I don’t speak for women when I say this: yes, in my experience, you should call on female coworkers to share their opinions or insights. It’s fair, and often appreciated, but don’t do it expecting gratitude. Do it because you know their input matters.

Many—not all—women have had it ingrained in them since childhood to defer to men, especially men in authority. If it’s appropriate, don’t make it an imperative statement like, “Susan, tell us your thoughts.” Respect their agency, and ask, “Susan, is there anything you’d like to add” or “do you have an update to share on your task?” This applies to your male co-workers too, of course. Because, at the end of the day, none of this is about you. It’s about what’s best for the team, right?

Knowing when to step up and when to step back and elevate others is one of the hardest things to learn about being a leader. But fostering a culture of open curiosity and collaboration is the best antidote to a culture of quiet resentment because someone feels ignored or left out.

Not to mention the loss of productivity that imposter syndrome can cause…but that’s a whole different thread.

Anyway, just my experience on the matter. I personally think it’s important to help men understand how their view of team dynamics may be exclusionary to women. I’m not speaking on behalf of women at all. If there’s any question about how to best include any specific person in your organization, there’s an easy way to get that question answered: ask them.
What's the point of "clean project history" if junior developers accidentally sometimes break entire branches? You can get "clean views" of history with merge commits with things like --first-parent. Most PR tools today let you look at branch as a whole and it doesn't matter if you squash first or not.

Rebase workflows are so much additional work and the benefits don't actually seem worth that extra work. You can use the tools already available to get most of the same "benefits" and there's a lot less likelihood of needing to do a reflog search or deep dive into squashed commmits with no merge hints left of where a hidden three way merge took the wrong path or a need to manually manage some developer's rerere cache.

I'm biased, of course, by hitting so many of these worst case scenarios and being "the only expert" to get people out of them that I just generally don't trust any workflow that involves junior developers doing lots of unsupervised squashes and rebases. I like merge commits. I like having DAG traversal options when I need them (to fix some junior developer's accidentally bad merge; to archeology my way to deeper context around bugs). Those seem like much better "benefits" than "the project history is clean".
What's ridiculous here is what it reminds you of, which makes you look worse than him.

He's just open and honest about his thoughts and feelings about some people, but you, on the other hand, are definitely, at least, weird.
...been puttin it off but yeah, I guess it's time that I do.
I'm down if this supports a Chromium backend.

Also, how does developer experience look like, e.g. DOM inspector, source code debugger?

My job requires heavy debugging so it cannot be my daily driver unless there is comprehensive developer tools.

When I was teaching my mother to use a mouse she waved it around in the air and asked why nothing was happening on the screen. When I showed her a picture of water, she kept poking the LCD screen making it distort and laughing that it looked like real water, until I firmly told her to stop before she damaged it.

But even much younger people seem to have no clue. Some think their desktop is their browser, or their browser is the Internet. Some call their monitor (or UPS) their "computer". No understanding of hierarchical file organization. No understanding the difference between memory and storage. No understanding of "context".

My wife complains that Thunderbird is slow. I point out she has tens of thousands of unread emails in her inbox.

A neverending shitshow.
eh, having lived in both chicago and nyc, chicago's transit system is pretty much on par with nyc to me. MTA is all built around going to and from manhattan and it can be a struggle if you have to do something else, like going from parts of queens to brooklyn. Chicago's hyperrational grid and busses make up pretty well for the gaps in the L. now the cabs in new york, nothing beats them (although these days more and more cabbies don't seem to actually know the city very well)
Please fix the head line.

The blog linked to is not a reputable news media.

From the article:

> In the statement by Datatilsynet DK, the sanctions only apply to municipalities.

> “Both yes and no, this statement is regarding chrome books and workspace in Danish public schools. But these principles apply to all cloud-provided services, but in Denmark, we make decisions in specific cases. They can be applied to other (similar) situations only if the legal fact can be considered the same.”

The head line is thus not accurate.
Make-A-Scene gives users more control over the generation via the sketch. You can drive the image composition through it, and aspects of the image composition (what is where, what size, what viewpoint, what shape, etc.) is challenging to describe in text but quite intuitive via sketch.
NIO's battery swapping is the future, IMO. It's faster, while still allowing opportunity to hit the washroom & candy isle at the station. Batteries will be tested with every swap, ensuring failing cells are detected extremely early. Enables battery companies to maintain ownership, which they desperately want because it guarantees their raw materials supply. Eliminates the need to run new electrical capacity to every house and neighbourhood. It's a much, much better solution.
I don't know how anyone who has spent considerable time around SV/SF, NYC and Boston could see Boston anywhere close to the others.

The Boston tech scene and culture (outside of physically being on the MIT campus) is awful. TripAdvisor and Wayfair, your examples, are two companies I would aggressively advise any friends from even talking to. While all the major players are there now it took them a long time to get there. Comp in Boston still lags NY and SF considerably, and in general Boston has always had a resistance to anything "new", it's politically liberal but otherwise a very conservative city. The biotech companies there have always been way more heavy on the bio than the tech. I've worked for Boston area tech companies multiple times , before and after the tech boom, and would never work for a Boston area tech company again.

NYC is on a whole other level. Not only do you have all the major players with much larger campuses there are far more startups and early IPO companies. There is the also entire world of HFT companies (Boston's finance scene is largely very old school investment management companies) which alone would be worthy of making NYC a techhub. I also disagree with your claims about the concentrate of tech companies. Tech related meetups and events in NYC are much larger, more active and have more exciting participants than in the Boston area.
It sounds more like Rust gave you that choice, because it would have been just as good if the rust code transpiled to JS. I’m not knocking WASM just pointing out that you’re not praising any particular qualities of WASM, but of Rust.
Even CDPR decided to defunct their engine and are sticking with Unreal for future titles.
Each dollar diverted from renewables to fission brings climate disaster closer. Besides displacing much less carbon emission, in operation, it doesn't start displacing any at all for a decade. During that decade, what you pay out for coal or NG could have bought the solar farm instead.

Coal producers love fission nowadays, because it means another decade of dependence on their product. They see the writing on the wall, so they only hope to put off the end. Promoting nukes is their lifeline.
It's odd that this piece leaves out the massive success of using DDT to eradicate malaria in the United States[1]. It was such a success that most people don't even realize malaria was endemic to most of the USA. Obviously improper dumping and so on is bad, but an intelligent society should always consider the tradeoffs of applying any technology. My own ethics highly prioritize reducing human suffering, so I reckon it was most likely worth it in the USA.

I have lived in San Diego. I have spent time in Los Angeles. I have spent time in San Francisco. I am not a stranger to large cities.

I can say with certainty I will never live in one of these places. I won't even live in Pittsburgh, which is an order of magnitude smaller than any of these places. There's no escaping people. There's no escaping politics or bureaucracy. There's no way to escape petty crime, crazy people, and noise. You can't see the sky at night, there's never any "dark".

Everything is orders of magnitude more expensive in a city. $5000/month rent? And people think this is "reasonable"? I don't even pay a third of that on a mortgage on a 2400sq/ft house. With a nice yard, decent neighbors, a good school, low crime, low taxes, the works. Our night-time intruders are turkey, deer, the occasional black bear, raccoons, skunks, and screech owls.

Do I have to drive to get anywhere? Yes.

Do I get the highest-paying jobs? Do I have immediate access to cute little bodegas and trendy little shops and night life? No.

But I can let my kids go outside and play at night. I can leave my doors unlocked. Nobody breaks into my car and steals my stereo. I can leave my house with my garage door up and all my stuff inside, and my neighbors will call/text me to remind me.

Is this an adequate trade-off? For me, absolutely yes.

I get why people like living in big cities. I will never again live in one myself, though.
This is why houses had awnings 100 years ago. You could leave the window open and not worry if it rained.
The big guys tour. It's the little guys that are interesting....
It is inconsistent but imagine this...

/bin is a directory called bin

/ is the root directory

/root is a directory called "root" based in the root directory

Did you get that?

Simples, now you see, dns is the same thing backwards with dots...

All that before user gets to type "www.google.com."

Interestingly, in China people just type a single word and the default search engine does the thinking. Giving them power that google.com can only dream of. ;)
More generally, the notion that human culture, systems, and behaviors can be mapped, losslessly and without causing harm, to something a computer understands.

I think these language examples are so good, as examples, because all aspects of them are clear and easy to follow. I think computerization of business and society and the systems that make them work, causes immense amounts of this kind of friction and pain all the time, in ways that are much harder to understand, explain, or catalog (which is precisely why it's such a big problem, though as far as I know it's received little attention)

[EDIT] To distill it, I think that trying to make a computer a "source of truth" rather than a tool, tends to do substantial violence to the "truth".
I think the target audience is people who want RHEL but don't want to pay for it -same as almalinux?
I use Chrome for anything Google and streaming sites/Chromecast, Firefox for everything dev-related (and of course test on both).
There are many, many places to live with crime rates far lower than NYC so I'm not sure I really understand this. Maybe you mean compared with most places you could see yourself living?

For example, I live in a nice town in CT and the crime rate is 3.99 per 1000 vs NYC which is currently about 13.3 per 1000, making NYC (as a whole — I understand your point about neighborhoods within the city) 3x higher in crime.

I understand the other things you appreciate about the city. It's great to able to walk outside and have amazing restaurants and other amenities a few feet away; there's a reason many people like the city.
Exactly. Most of a poor person's income will be spent locally every paycheck. Higher income, more is saved or sent offshore etc
Adaptive vents, too. Why cool the whole house when I'm going to be in two rooms for the majority of the (hot) afternoon before opening the window to the bedroom in the evening?
This is an equivalent to CentOS, now that there won't be any more CentOS major releases besides CentOS Stream.
How did Tauri (Rust) solves the rendering engine problem? Maybe Nyxt can borrow some of its magic.
It's a downstream rebuild of RHEL 9. The release notes page tragically fails to mentions that. Chalk that up to failures of trademark law.
Lol the Obscene version reads like it was written by an idiot hollering about reverse racist math problems at the PTA.
Chrome is the main app and I imagine you install apps from Chrome itself, so no need to advertise then
I transitioned from writing software for Amazon to writing software for prototype wave and tidal power devices. It's no silver bullet - every industry has its WTF moments - but overall I'd recommend it. It's cool as hell to be able to literally stand on top of something that you helped build :)
>> When you make an application, it's often useful to create a static identifier of the application state and push it on the back button...

Like I said, I'm sure there are "reasons" for doing it. Put your own "back" button in the application then, don't take MY browser button and reconfigure it. The browser back button should go back in my browser history - including leaving an app, not where some web developer decides it should go. This is a giant security concern introduced for web developer convenience.
Kinda - if you have a problem amenable to some kind of evolutionary training model/feedback, you could certainly improve it via ML. Anything from compression to data processing can and has been improved through evolutionary training processes.

If you trained an ML model on recognizing patterns of older less efficient algorithms and swapping in new ones, that could be useful. It probably isn’t that much harder of a problem than knowledge graph building and objecg recognition.

Also, having an ML model trained to recognize certain types of problem patterns in whatever source product/model/codebase or whatever and then spit out code to solve them is certainly not a theoretically impossible or low value task.

That said, ML as an art or science is no where near being able to do that usefully near as I can tell.

Hell even basic chatbots still suck.

Hell, even getting Hibernate to usefully reverse engineer a pretty normal schema still sucks.
This is a great idea that would never be allowed to made into legislation because of corporate lobbyist.

Machine Learning algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on.

Machine Learning algorithms are never better than the data they're trained-on. But they can easily be "worse".

Specifically, an ML algorithm trained on one data set can have a hard time operating on a different data set with some similarities and some fundamental differences. This is related to algorithms generally not having an idea how accurate their predictions/guesses are. This in turn relates to current ML as being something like statistical prediction with worries about bias tossed-out (which isn't to dismiss it but to illuminate it's limitations).

For tasks like self-driving or spotting cancer in x-rays, they are producing novel result because these kinds of tasks are amenable to reinforcement. The algorithm crashed the car, or it didn't. The patient had cancer, or they didn't.

Ironically, both those applications have been failures so-far. Self-driving is far more complex than a binary crash-or-not scenario (usually the road is predictable but just about anything can wander into the roadway occasionally and you need to deal with this "long tail"). It also requires extreme safety to reach human levels. Diagnosis by image has problems of consistence, of doctors considering more than just an image and other things possibly not understood.
A huge swath of the population thinks life is a TV show. Not consciously, but in the back of their mind because they have spent so much time living through entertainment.

MAP_POPULATE is intentionally disallowed currently by the Cosmo Libc pledge() implementation, because it's Linux-specific, I've rarely seen it used, and I was erring on the side of caution since I wasn't sure how much prefaulting reads could be considered a borderline privileged operation. If you remove that flag, then mmap() should work fine.

MAP_STACK can be used correctly with Cosmo by saying MAP_STACK | MAP_ANONYMOUS. That's all you need. You can also call Cosmo's _mapstack() function. Cosmo is somewhat unique in that it polyfills the platform-specific underlying flags automatically when you do that. So you shouldn't include MAP_GROWSDOWN because we chose to adopt the FreeBSD behavior which we polyfill on Linux using MAP_GROWSDOWN. See our docs for further details. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/0a589add4167c1b587...
The problem with this is that, just like visual programming, it doesn’t really do the hard parts.

I remember hearing “a million monkeys with a million type writers writing for a million years could write Shakespeare”. Sure, but how would they know it? How could they recognize when they have achieved their goal?

ML will lower the bar for the trivial tedious things and let people believe they are more capable than they are. Even with ML you will have to know what to ask and what the answer should be. That is always the hard part.

BIND's zone files are an implementation detail completely unnecessary to interoperate with the DNS protocol. Same for zone-transfers. Neither of these ever belonged in an RFC in the first place.
There is a certain kind of live music and public art that (honestly) tourists are looking for which the person I was referring to didn't see. There is "music" and "performance" that fit into the guise of culture but it isn't really for tourist consumption.

That said, there is live music and public art too, just since it isn't Singapore's culture but an import from the west, there's less of it (see my rant on western food).

EDIT removed "white" qualifier for tourist, my brain still thinks in US but really all tourists from wherever go to the malls and idk promenade but miss the kopitiams and markets because it's just not in the touristy areas.
I do, and it has already creeped into some platforms that provide, at least, compatibility with these runtimes, see: https://www.graalvm.org/22.1/reference-manual/wasm/

Ugh, not more C#!

I hope one of these projects takes off:

Excited to try Godot in a couple of years when it's more mature. Hopefully they can be the Blender of game engines – where it started rough and now is better than Maya or other alternatives.
I predict in certain areas, "free cooling" systems will become the standard. These are system which do just what you talk about automatically. When there is a need for cooling and exterior air is cool enough, supplement supply air with air from the outside. This way your AC system load is reduced, or if cool enough, the compressor doesn't need to run at all to remove heat from your home by replacing it with cooler air from outside.

Free cooling is already part of many commercial AC systems, usually referred to as an "economizer".
