The short answer is because any flag will break other things. There is another suggestion to not require any flag, but it probably will not be implemented because of this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5026

It is not possible in open source to force everyone to use one toolkit, in my opinion you are wasting your time by wishing for that. There are dozens of toolkits to choose from and the number seems to be growing. The fragmentation has only gotten stronger over the last 25 years, if Qt was the clear winner the proliferation would have stopped long ago. Now there is pretty much no chance that you will be able to hack every toolkit to get all of them to look and work consistently. In particular, the way an app works is decided by the HIG it follows, not the theme. This is reflected in the entire design of the app, to change it requires redesigning the whole app. It cannot be changed just by setting some environment variables.

Ok, now tell me why i want to snoop on my neighbors SMS? Or why they want to see me asking my wife what to make for dinner?

Are you aware of man in the middle attacks? Do you think encrypted channels are safe from state actors?

Also most phones don’t even use SMS anymore, and instead go through an encrypted server to make it so you can hide your traffic from your neighbors.

...Why would he? There are hundreds of tech publications and bloggers who will cheerfully talk about why Windows computers are better than Macs, and have been basically since the release of Windows 1.0.

He's calling this "an inconvenient truth" because he's seeing a trend among supposedly cross-platform reviews that say the Apple Silicon-based computers are faster than any of the Intel computers being reviewed......and then just say "but the Intel one is the best!" without justifying that with any explanation about how obviously anyone who's looking to do real work needs a Windows computer or something.
I apologize for not being explicit enough in my original comment. The issue I was attempting to raise is not with how things are named ("Freeway", "Free range", etc.), but with how they are presented. For example, "London undertaking $55 million in road projects this summer" and "London undertaking $0 in road projects this summer" are very different things.

> And I never ever thought after decades on public Internet forums that unsolicited advice was somehow disallowed or even generally frowned upon.

Well, I'm glad that I've finally got you thinking about it now. It's important to recognize that many people do resent unsolicited advice, especially when it's obvious, condescending, and implies criticism of the person's choices, which is this case here.

I talked about a tweet of mine that was mistakenly flagged by Twitter, and how I had to give Twitter my phone # to unsuspend my account. One replier said "This is why you do not use a work/professional account for things other than work" and another replier said "That is why you have separate business phone numbers and addresses". How can these direct replies to me not be interpreted as personal criticism of me and my choices? The implication is that I made a mistake and wasn't following "best practice".

I actually have no regrets, either about writing the tweet or about not having a separate business phone number, and I continue to have no intention to set up a separate business phone #, address, etc., because that would a hassle for me with little or no benefit.

But again, this is not some secret, obscure thing that people need to be told. Of course people running a business are aware of the possibility of separating the business from the personal.

Not to mention, it's kind of hilarious to suggest Google Voice as a solution to one's privacy problems, as if adding Google into the mix isn't a privacy problem in itself. Google is the world's largest personal data collection agency.
Welcome to science folks. Having worked a decade around a campus regularly sitting in on presentations (and being in research myself) I can say I believe 80% of science wrong AND not reproducible, 10% being an outright fraud (10% being legit).

Highly recommend this book to discuss why: https://www.amazon.com/Rigor-Mortis-Science-Worthless-Billio...

It all comes down to incentives.

(1) As a researcher you lose funding m if you don’t produce

(2) funds aren’t allocated to reproduce

(3) Researchers who publish will block research that disagrees with their work (as they’re also reviewers) (will lose future funding / have more competition)

(4) Researchers wont rescind their work if later findings warrant it (no incentive to)

(5) N numbers are way too low (higher N is more money)
Slacks/discord and internal communities are in fact really good place to look (it was not intuitive to me till recently). Often times its the other dev that is posting info, there is possibility for some casual interaction "what you workin on?". It is way cheaper for the company to hire also (cutting all job posts, agencies etc).
I have an endless pursuit for food. Whenever I eat, I end up eating again only hours later. I've given up on fixing this greedy habit.
Mmm. I don't think that's a super useful way to think about it.
The way I've always conceptualized it was that if you look at fractals, they are determined by some complex polynomial. So you could look at the space of polynomials, and each point in there , would be its own fractal.
For the right space of polys thats a Hilbert space, and so by Riesz representation theorem it would have a dual space, but I dont think thats super useful here

That next marginal dollar of revenue in the short term is often at the expense of subscriber goodwill in the long term. Rebuilding burned goodwill is very hard to do and dooms the business in the long run.
While I agree that McDonalds should have been found guilty in that case(they deliberately set their machines to produce much hotter coffee than is standard anywhere) I feel like this is a case that could have been only won in the US, because only US courts give any time to stuff like this. Maybe I'm wrong, but my feeling is that a case like this would have been thrown out long before being heard in any other country - she spilled her coffee, it's clearly her fault(would have been the resoning).

Apologies, this has been an incorrect definition on my side (but correctly understood by the GP).

What I referred to with "tiling capabilities" in:

> tiling capabilities of the terminal are severely limited because the devs are hostile to APIs that would allow such functionality (see Tilix debate)

is actually the keyboard navigation/selection support in the terminal.

There has been debate between the terminal maintaner(s) and the GNOME VTE maintainer, and lead to nothing.

Without providing any technical information, the twit means nothing, and IMO, in the context of the GNOME devs culture, it's just another, typical, "F* you".

The is a reference to the debate [in the Tilix bug tracker](https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/1305), but regarding the debate itself, I don't have it handy.
This is a tragedy.

Academia and research needs a new broom. Presently incentives are
peverse. Impact factors, publisher corruption, grant applications and
funding are a blight on science.
>why was this not a continuous thing?

Because we wanted Dynamic webpage back then. Or at least dynamically generated webpage when something is updated, like links and comments ( When every site was still hosting their own comment sections ). Develop Locally and push Static Site to web may work on Web pages, but doesn't really work for website with some traffic or what we called blog today.

Especially when we were on HDD and single core CPU, updating a few hundred pages takes quite a bit of time. Before uploading tens of Megabytes of Data that takes hours on 56K or ISDN. Compared to being hosted on the web where everything was a press of a button.

Now we are on SSD, where our IOPS is anywhere from 100x to 1000x faster. Even updating sites like Tomshardware or Anandtech should only take seconds. We have Gigabit Internet, uploading should no longer be a problem.

I think vast majority of web site could simply be Static pages, with a small dose of javascript. And may be in the future you could even install your CMS on iPad or iPhone. There is no need to worry about anther Tumblr or Geocities taking down all your content. Your content will stay on your device, and possibly with some sort of Cloud Data Backup. ( iCloud or Google Drive )

This is actually something I keep talking about since ~2017. ( I cant believe that is 5 years already ) So I am glad we are finally moving in that direction.
hard to care when it makes you money to look away and the stakes are still low (some unhappy customers, not a focus of politicians or law enforcement or mainstream media). this is our “market solution”.
> it should not be sold as "the treatment" but as "we don't have anything better for now, we are working on it, if you can't wait, you can do it"

Isn’t this true of all treatments? It’s the best we’ve got. It seems to work. It has downsides. We’re looking for better options.

We start with the least invasive option. But we don’t stop midway because something better might one day turn up.
It is curious why the sugar risks were down played:

“How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat” (2016)

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-in...

The science seems to have been so muddied by PR, is there anyway to get a clear consensus independent if vested interests?
The most likely motive for this kind of fraud at this level is that the researchers “know” their hypothesis is correct and are just fixing some “mistakes” in the data.

People do this all the time. In fact I’d say it’s the usual reaction when confronted with data contradicting one’s beliefs.

Scientists are supposed to learn to go past that but I wonder how many actually do, especially when there is both social and economic pressure to conform to a school of thought.

For others reading this, this not entirely accurate. Amtrak seems to sell seats in price bundles.

Practically, if you're looking for a trip at a particular time and day, you'll find that seat prices will vary as bundles are sold through. To find a cheaper seat I:

- Buy either a several weeks OR a few days before my trip.

- Tend to travel Tues-Thursday.

- Check repeatedly for a few days if I don't see the price I want.

I travel a lot on the Northeast corridor and found that I can usually get a ticket for $25-30 that can be as high as $60-$120.

Amtrak is 1000x better than driving for me because:

- Free wifi and power at every seat.

- Roomy seats and tons of legroom.

- Zero security.

- Quiet car.

- Huge free baggage allowances.

- No traffic.

I love Amtrak. Definitely better than flying for these trips.
If you use unexpected definition of "exposed" then it would be better to mention it directly...

Yeah, obviously direct exposure to core kills. In the same way being pulled through hydropower turbine kills, and ending in furnace of gas/coal/wood heated power plant will kill you.

Nuclear power still has vastly lower death ratio per produced energy than other ways generating power anyway.

> I am not wrong, in a world dotted with miniature fission reactors, as the most extreme pro-fission people would like to favor.

You would be still wrong. Building atom bomb factories doubling as power plants (Chernobyl design) in every city, and then deliberately triggering such catastrophe in every single one still is not getting this result.

With miniature fission reactors - also not.

You would not get "instantly fry us all to molten pulp" even in case of deliberate use of all nuclear weapons by omnicidal world government trying to murder as many people as possible.
If the service is worse than what's promised, you have decent legal options. Prove that you're getting less than you pay for and you may be able to cut the price.

Counter-point: I get decent Vodafone (ex-Unitymedia) service.

Chatting about individual experiences with their service is probably a welcome distraction for them.
> the best engineers can pick and chose

Sorta. I would take a less-qualified but more personable engineer over their more capable peer any day of the week, for the aforementioned reasons: engineering isn't the only skill required – those who don't insist on managerial perfection don't actually need a lot of managing as a result. It's a positive feedback loop.

Also if engineers think we don't check references and backgrounds anymore – including reputation – those days are long past. It's too much of a liability to have the 'talented asshole' as part of a team anymore.

> Especially if you introduce boundaries and restraints.

Boundaries and restraints are a professional reality.

> So when/if management go down the route of treating Software Development like they treat any other department.

It's this exceptionalism that earns engineers the reputation of being jerks, and creates a negative feedback loop. Want to be free and clear to operate without too much bureaucracy? Play the cooperation game. This is as true with engineering as it is literally any other thing that requires more than one human.

Note how your answer equally works whether the question is "why not avoid extra sugar?", "why not quit smoking?", "why not abstain from drugs?", "why require consent?", etc.

There is value in not deriving pleasure just as there is value in deriving pleasure. In fact, I don't really know what you mean by "value", but I would not be at all surprised if deriving personal pleasure were found to be orthogonal even to own satisfaction overall.
That sounds like a good thing or was it too fast? Most companies do nothing to address the problems following exit interviews and them end up with terrible retention
The bit at the end about the NIH continuing to allocate funds to the exposed researchers... with the program director being one of the authors of the exposed paper - that stings. But it also shows how deep corruption and "networking" runs in places like this.
That is so good imo. At least you don't have a tracking software running at all times
You get what you incentivize, and this is what we incentivize.

It’s probably about the worst in any field dominated by studies and statistics. Harder sciences are harder to fake as bad results can be more conclusively falsified.
I’m not sure who the intended audience of this upcoming book is, but if it is laypeople, I feel as though the level of explanation is too advanced. Eg:

> Just like a ball doesn’t change if you rotate one direction of space into another, Maxwell’s equations don’t change if you rotate one direction of space into time.

> So, Minkowski said, we just combine space with time to a 4 dimensional space-time, and then we can rotate space into time just like we can rotate two directions of space into each other. And that naturally explains why Maxwell’s equations have the symmetry they do have.

I have read, enjoyed, and understood a lot of popular physics books. But none of that makes a lick of sense to me. Either I’m dumber than I thought (probably), or I’m not the right audience, or this is a poor explanation.
Selling ads, doing political lobby work, create fancy reports about ad effectiveness, evaluate if there are companies to acquire, ...
The question is often 'how long does it take to implement'. Engineers know if it is more or less clear what the functional requirements.

In practice, workdays are constantly interrupted by meetings. An 8 hr workday is effectively 2-4hrs product building. Than there are unforseen deployment problems, some requirements change, solve merge conflicts, perform code reviews, frameworks need vulnerability updates, etc.

An experienced PM knows this and should not use implementation time as project duration.

The politicized approval process that got sucralose and aspartame on the market should give anyone reason for concern. Remember that the beneficiaries of those approvals are people who know the most about these chemicals and are motivated to avoid learning more or disclosing what they know.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The government fails in its mission if it lets a handful of people hold the most valuable land hostage. At least Nimbys should pay much higher property taxes to make up for the economic damage they cause the rest of the country, so they can live in a single family home next to a major city downtown.

Free up zoning, get rid lopsided tax breaks like prop 13. Or end up with a revolution like in France in 1700s. Or lose to China.

I painted with some broad strokes here, but the picture is clear.
Oh they fractal features are definitely infinite. I worked on a genetic algo a to breed fractals together a number of years ago, and one thing I noticed was that the highest non-zero poly power would determine the shape of the fractal - so a c^3 fractal would have "three petals", a c^4 would have "four petals". So clearly these things can have infinite features

>1) It's not just Gnome that's affected, it's also the gtk3 FileChooserDialog, which is used by many applications (e.g. Firefox), independent of desktop environment.

I do not understand this. Firefox and those other apps are not beholden to GNOME, they can implement any file chooser they have an interest in implementing. If they have chosen the same one as GNOME then it is likely because they prioritize implementing with GNOME over other things, so you will have to accept that those applications are not as interested in bothering to be independent of desktop environment. Some applications will always be like this, for example Thunar is designed for XFCE and it does not fit in so well with Plasma.

>I think the devs (or the HIG architects) have blundered in prioritising search over find and I want to see it corrected.

It is not useful to say this without having some kind of larger justification for it. Just repeating this is an anecdote, it is not going to change minds. If you want another anecdote, I have never liked find, I found it worse than search in every way. If I keep pushing from this angle and telling you that I want to see your opinion corrected, would that convince you? I doubt it would.
Agreed. Been thinking of leaving due to this level of tracking but not sure whether this is the norm or is my company an exception
Yeah it's probably more accurate to say "learn enough of the syntax and runtime to write/edit code in a few days".
