Not to mention, Microsoft Office has supported the LibreOffice native formats nearly perfectly for almost a decade now, because some governments mandate OpenDocument formats over Microsoft ones. In fact, since at least Office 2013, you can configure Office to use those formats by default.
I have a real soft spot for this kind of instructable, and I've done enough bookbinding to say that this one will work.

That said, let me present my decision tree for using duct tape:

online.order(gaffer_tape)
return closet.duct_tape or bail("ing wire")
else
return obtain(gaffer_tape)
end
else
return closet.gaffer_tape

Most software devs start at 2.5k in NL unless you're severely lowballing yourself. You're lucky to get 6k before becoming a principal SE or architect. 10k is a salary you're more likely to hit self-employed.

4x is possible, but in that short of a timeframe, you're more likely moving from a Dutch company to an international one and becoming employable across the entire globe. Which given US salaries would give the ability to 5-10x anyway.
While the occupation of France by Germany was a matter of ideology, the occupation of Morocco etc by France was a matter of a different stage of human evolution.

I would argue that the colonisation of Morocco by France was a net positive event and jump-started them out of the middle ages into an industrialised society.

I fully expect to be downvoted to oblivion for this statement, I would like to express it nevertheless
Its wheelbase is 8 inches longer than the Fiat 500, and it’s overall 10" longer. It’s by no means a big car, but it’s quite a bit bigger than a traditional city car.
Personally I like the people that ask, or point things out to me, because I’m a little bit dense, and I don’t resent anyone for taking initiative.

The larger rationale for this is likely due to them losing very important share to macOS because of things like the secure enclave.

No license is going to be suitable for everyone. You might think BSD, MIT, WTFPL are the most liberal licenses but they are not suitable for me. If I am invested in an open source software enough to contribute code to it then I want that when a greedy company takes that software and improves it and redistributes it they are also forced to release the source code benefitting everyone. BSD, MIT, WTFPL can't do that but GPL can. No license is a silver bullet.
of course not!
Should need to teach how to think. Part of that means the ability to adopt to whatever tool. Thus schools should require students to use each of 4 different office system. O365 is only one of them, and LibreOffice is an obvious section choice (I'm have no idea what the others might be). tools come and go, but the concepts you are using the tools for stick around. I wasted a lot of time learning WordPerfect F-keys back as a kid a useless skill. Microsoft introduced the Ribbon and changed the way you use their office 20 years ago. I haven't even used a word processor in the last few years, but by focusing on good writing (well as good as I can do) I can figure out how to make tools submit, and that is what is important.
The protocols that use them move faster than batteries, let alone features.

>HN has been consistently contrarian. That’s about all that you can say without quickly becoming mistaken.

until recently. Just like reddit, it has become less niche and more mainstream. For eg: HN majority opinion on covid's origin. It matched the official US govt lines as it switched back and forth between market and lab.
I'm always confused by the people that liked spirited away. To each their own.

Here's my list:

1. Nausicaa (Valley of the wind)

2. Luputa (Castle in the sky)

3. Mononokee

4. Porco Rosso (Awesome aviation themed adventure).
Bootloader locking is orthogonal to whether there's a second CPU like that Pluton in the system.
Yeah, we can argue all we want, but it is only implemented as a result of users able to use free resource to mess with others by creating new account when they know that they are banned. Possible solutions:

1. Don't ban users

2. Ban users and tell them

3. Ban users and don't tell them\

4. Don't allow free accounts

Unless you know a better solution, we have to accept shadow banning as a speed bump. And like speed bumps, they unfortunately sometimes catch good-willing users, but make life better for thousands of other users.
You mean the outages from like... last week/this week? That was the first outage in like years of service, and it was resolved pretty quickly, with good communication throughout and an apology. The discussion on Reddit is worth looking at[0].

What alternatives are out there without service degradation/outages?

Also not to undermine my own point (Protonmail is wonderfully stable for me) who is getting life or death emails these days? I could take whole days of downtime (hasn't ever happened) and probably be OK.

Why do we all pretend that we are all so important that we need services with bulletproof reliability and as many 9s as we can get?

Bit of a rant, but not directed at you so much Cxckers!

People use cars far more than they use guns, there's far more cars owned than guns, and and cars are far more regulated. However, the US is unique in the amount of gun deaths in the world... far higher than other countries, with regulation far lower.
> People should generally be most afraid of their own government - it's the one that is allowed to use violence where they live.

Be careful to not forget the distinction between "being allowed to" and "being able to". There are documented cases of countries (including the USA) using violence against people even when they aren't the government where these people live.
Cool. I must not be a big enough Twitter user for them to reveal Spaces to me. Or I'm aloof and haven't noticed it. I'll look out for it now though.
Well if the counteroffer is significantly higher than a match then we can talk (the point about buying time is still a concern tho).
On the other side `name:Type` doesn't allow an IDE to suggest a name based on the type, because you type the name first. Also setting values looks pretty confusing. I claim writing the type before the name is much more readable. Compare

five: integer = 5

or

integer five = 5

Just read the TOS of gmail. Looks like you are not aware what you allow them to do with your email.
Huh? Almost all of them do. Try logging into WoW, send a packet that says you picked up a million gold, and observe what happens to your account.
The reason the OSS community has had no impact is that it's never managed to produce software that regular non-tech-geeks want to use. The reason it's never managed to do that is lack of an economic model to finance the incredible amount of work required to make software usable by normal people.

I've been saying this ad nauseum forever and I'm not the only one.

A related problem is that the OSS world is mostly tech enthusiasts. It's like having car people design cars. They'd be full of special switches and options and stuff that car people want. Car people don't understand that most people hate cars. What they like is mobility. Same goes for computers. Most people hate computers. They just like what computers let them do: communication, making content, getting their work done, etc.
Our perception of sounds can be heavily influenced by other senses:

It would be the opposite of stability though. While I gave the example of US Treasuries as a worst case scenario in reality before we get to them half the financial system would've been drained to the Fed. People would pull their money out of regular bank accounts and stick it in the Fed even at negative interest rates because a predictable percentage (probably small) loss is better than uncertainty that your bank might fail.

That is the complete opposite of stability, it's a worse kind of chaos than what would happen now.

There's a myriad of complicated and dangerous side effects from this for a benefit that frankly isn't useful for most people (due to FDIC insurance). So the only people it makes sense for are those relatively rich people who ought to be able to diversify their savings/investments to protect themselves.
As someone in a similar position, the biggest challenge is both Google and MS 365 offer waaay more than email.

Like, if I ditched MS 365, I would have to find alternatives for:

- Exchange (Email)

- Azure AD (Directory Service with SSO integration)

- SharePoint/ OneDrive (shared / personal file server)

- Teams (chat / conferencing)

- Intune (MDM)

For about 20 USD/user/month* .That's just the surface, I'm definitely forgetting about many other features. M365 is just too good for small business.

And even then, I would have to pay for some O365 subscriptions as many of my users rely heavily in Excel.

*That can be made cheaper by buying through a MS partner + yearly commitments.
When I clicked the link, I expected to see media security DRM functionality or something along those lines. However, from what I can tell, this is all critical security stuff; the security community has been begging for features like these for ages.

Kind of feels like Microsoft can’t win here. Everything is free and unprotected and their OS is a security joke, or they harden and get accused of DRM and monopolizing.
Along these lines -- would love to know what the marketplace for all of the data collected on students from the myriad of online-learning platforms schools rushed to implement over the past couple years while homeschooling replaced in-person education. Target the smartest kids, who may go to the best schools, and earn the highest salaries and buy the most stuff. You've got to figure there's a huge market of buyers for this data.
"Years" is stretching it. Google was founded in 1998. In 1999, their revenues were $200,000 [0]. In 2000, it was $19M. And in 2001, it hit $86M in revenues and and profits of $7M [1].

I was joking about making me feel bad. What you said is the reason I only consciously watch one or two series per year. Many of them look great, but few hold my interest.
I didn’t say radical. I said neoreactiory, as in: co-opting traditional reactionary pathologies and reusing them in a contemporary setting. The taboo disgust reaction of eating bugs is just a cherry on top.

It would be a grave error to read these comments as “I endorse whatever our planet’s ultrawealthy think is best for you and me.” I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I’ll hop onto every cheap retelling of the same basic reactionary conspiracy that’s been around for the last 600 years.
On Windows I use RadiAnt. It's not free software, but it is extremely good and not terribly expensive. It will even load and display DICOM out of zip files which is a killer feature.

It used to be that everyone used eFilm Workstation for like legal consulting etc. But eFilm decided to end that (probably because they couldn't figure out how to get it to migrate to high DPI screens and it wasn't a priority).

RadiAnt switched their sales model in a way that's very convenient for law firms to pay consultants. They can basically buy however many months are needed for the consultant.
Teach LibreOffice for all we care, but the principles are important

"Office proficiency" is a useful thing to have, and while it is taken for granted by the older generations, it is being a challenge for people joining the workforce now (it's an actual issue, hiring managers are having trouble with this)

As in: people can't write a simple text, set a phrase in bold, set the title with a different font size, etc. Or how to do some basic spreadsheet with simple calculations
Google has a blog post that says the same thing: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/goo...
> There is a shortage of actual developers. But there is no shortage of people who don't care about what they are doing or whether they can do it at all.

In nearly 20 years of doing this I’ve have never had one of these dreaded fake developers make it through the resume screen, initial phone call, and a conversation with an engineer.

And if I did, we’d just fire them as soon as it was clear they lied about their ability.

I have had plenty of the other extreme, very technically proficient developers who turned out to be terrible employees for other reasons.

My initial point is that if you can afford to make your screening process arduous enough that you’re turning away otherwise qualified people because they don’t want to work for you bad enough to jump through your hoops, then there’s not a shortage.

If there was really a shortage, you’d do what every other industry does. Hire based on resume, and fire the fakers.
Exactly, my teacher always said:

> These ideas were probably strongly influenced by lobbyists from the main IT service providers

What is your evidence for that? It could be any privacy-conscious individual which have raised the issue to Datatilsynet. Believe it or nor, some people actually care about the safety of their kids' private information.
Spreadsheets aren't just useful for jobs. Budgets, keep an inventory of digital purchases, making a directory of contact info/birth days/anniversaries, dietary tracking, fitness logs, etc, etc, so on and so forth. Not to mention if they go on to college/university they'll almost certainly have multiple classes where they have to create/manipulate spreadsheets and write a heck of a lot of papers in a word processor.
Motherboards are already supporting unreleased, unannounced 13th-gen Intel CPUs
This works both ways however. No one is going to buy the OS that can't even run on their latest chip. Microsoft can make all the demands they want, but the chip manufacturers still have the power to refuse to implement it; if Microsoft wants to brick their own OS, that's not their problem.
Why is it so hard to give Google money?
Sadly, too often data protection authorities just ban stuff before providing viable alternatives? I do understand there are issues with privacy shield or gpdr.

For all those people suggesting OSS alternatives, it is difficult. Finding talent (yes, the govt jobs do not pay like private) to install, run, maintain suite of office-based is close to impossible. They tried at our school - as the board tried to ban Teams while they chat in WhatsApp or zoom meetings. We tried SoGo (OSS) calendar - it just sucks. Sync does not happen. The solution always is to restart phone or try later.

These may work for individuals. Not for organisations unless huge number of talent moves to OSS type organisations (tutanota or etc).
I'd just go with a ambient light detector/photodetector, as long as no one else is trying to check the mail.
> Imagine if our electronics were designed consciously with repair in mind.

My prediction is that in the majority of cases we'd have slightly bulkier, slightly costlier devices, many likely a bit more prone to damage because of things like less effective seals or connectors failing, and that 1% of users would actually repair them. Probably a net negative in terms of environmental impact.

Years ago there was a push especially in Europe to install dual flush toilets that allow you to perform either a less-water flush. Many years later we find that due to these more complicated mechanisms being just slightly more prone to malfunction, the net impact is actually more water being wasted. (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/29/dual-flu...)

I'd suspect a similar sort of situation here.
If this was the reason they'd be blocking access from phones that are not up to date on security updates and are being actively exploited by malware to get root.

But it's the other way around, if you improve your old device by installing a up to date Android on your vendor-abandoned previously vulnerable device, you go from working banking to banned from banking.
I can see a situation where "the authorities" decide that, say, the list of people who flew on Epstein's "Lolita express" is "evidence in a pending trial" or "confidential" in the name of "national security," and simply flip a switch to prevent our computers from being able to access any file with particular hashes that they've identified as containing the information.

Also, thank God for the Internet Archive.
Buy ground beef, beans, rice, and tortillas in bulk (or even cheaper, make them yourself—it’s not hard!) and be smart about planning to use vegetables and other perishables efficiently across multiple dishes, and you’re going to be making Taco Bell menu items at home that are far superior to Taco Bell for much less than $5.

Buying hotdogs, buns, and soda in bulk will probably cost ~$1.25 per meal, if not less. You can freeze the dogs and buns; the latter will still taste great after a light toasting.
Pretty sure all the big players are working around that by hosting European things in their European data centers. But maybe the US government can pressure them to give that information up too in which case it would mean US companies that have or use private data shouldnt be allowed to operate in Europe
It's crazy how good it is at some things.

It's going to be interesting to see the effect it has on human artists, whether it will replace or compliment, or spawn an entirely new marked/field.

I could imagine how "style" artistry could become a thing, where one makes not only concrete pictures, but develops new styles, that the AI can then use to generate content in.

Maybe this will set artists free from producing concepts and content, to more purely produce concepts..

In programming today, we have much that problem, a lot of programmers are merely plummers, chaining together libraries to achieve the end product.. Library authors are slightly higher up on the "doing actual programming" scale.. While, I'd consider authors of original and new algorithms and concepts to be the main contributers to furthering the field (tl;dr: the Umpth site written in react is not furthering the field as much as the framework that eventually replaces react, or the new type of internet application that finally rids us of the current abysmal state of "web applications")

[edit]
also, wtf?! I didn't realize that the text accompanying the image is entirely unrelated.. Is this a deliberate attack or a coincidence?
This is about privacy and only privacy. However corporate interests in the US will interpret the EU banning Google Docs/Workspace and Office365 as protectionism and lobby for retaliatory protectionist measures against EU companies.

Which EU company will soon get a multi-billion dollar fine by the US government?
Is 10x 20% jumps actually remotely reasonable? After you've swapped enough times it starts to look worrisome on resumes since people see no single role for more than 2 years. And the most effective jumps are when you also get title increases, but that stops working quite quickly and companies tend to prefer promoting to leadership positions rather than external hires leveling up.

1.2^10 is also a 620% pay increase. From my starting comp this would put me at like 1.5M, which is an extremely unusual pay level.
Right, I have a hard time believing that a emoji for e.g. "love hotel" would be able to become a emoji nowadays, if it had not been grandfathered in.
> Having a built-in module that does the job has a lot of upsides.

And downsides, especially for corporate usage you don't want your data protected by device keys if they aren't set by yourself or replicated elsewhere. But it is a security risk to deploy such keys on local machines in the first place in many circumstances.

> If there isn't a safe place to store keys, it makes sense to dissuade storing them. Fairly obvious, isn't it?

The behavior is that you can only add keys if you already activated TPM. This is an implementation detail of Windows Hello. Perhaps they changed it but I can think of some reasons why they forgot to add the option.

> it would be less secure in a bunch of contexts

No, I disagree. Severely less secure depends on the security model. Applications cannot usually randomly access any memory, but yes, the system would need to ensure that and there can be attacks. If you assume your system is compromised on that level your device encryption will be bypassed via the same channel. TPM comes with its own suite of security flaws in regards of device identification (bug or feature?). That is a relevant threat model compared to many memory attacks regardless of the countless other fingerprinting problems we currently are subjected to. Plus the DRM issues around remote attestation and sealed storage.
Does active atheism help in this ? Sometimes when i listen to talks by people who advocate atheism and rationalism, I feel good for a while. But I am not sure if that is what you are talking about.

I used to regularly talk/text to people interested in these things about what I see/learnt about atheism and spend time making fun of religions ( within our circle ).
Why would you want to use phrases like "rule the world" when reporting a country creating a fast charging standard?
This is the root of the pro market / mainstream market split.

For the pro market people want control. Pros also generally know a bit more about how to use that control and tend to be less likely to end up getting pwned immediately.

For regular users people just want shit that works. Not having control is a feature, because if you have control then the malware you are tricked into installing from "ɡeτflrêfox.com" also has control.

You can see it in the Apple ecosystem with iOS vs. macOS. Macs and iPads are now almost the same hardware. (The M chips are just A chips on 'roids.) But Macs can run other OSes and you can "sudo root." That's because Macs are for pros.
I asked myself the same question a while ago and wrote up the options then.[1] I used Runbox[2] for a while, but ended up switching to Soverin[3] and have been mostly happy with them. You certainly don’t get the spam filtering that the big companies have, but generally life is good.

Not an SWE here - I wonder if the process itself is seen as value-creating by either side, even if a job offer isn't placed? For example, discussing code design may keep the hiring party at the cutting edge / state of the art without having to undertake refresher training cost. The candidate also gets to understand where they stack in terms of hiring companies' expectations, and may opt to retrain as necessary.

(I'm reminded of the stories when FB was looking to make a smartphone pre-Oculus - it sounded like they were interviewing candidates but effectively getting design strategy consults out of them gratis, but that's probably more extreme than this).
