ffmpeg specifically is a bit of an outlier; together with some other tools like qemu.

For the rest of things, you can go a long way by just aligning things nicely, indentation, wrapping/indenting properly according to the terminal width, and maybe adding a bit of bold text which is both easily parsed by machines and human readable.

I generally think these are often considerably more user-friendly than outputting 6 different colours – half of which don't work well on many background colours so it's unreadable – assuming the terminal is 290 characters wide – many tools these days seem to think you've got infinitely wide screens – and all the other things these "modern" things do.

Something like "df" is a simple but classic example; GNU df at least aligns nicely no matter the column sizes (some other dfs, like NetBSD df, don't) and that's still easily used by machines and humans. Maybe -h should be the default though (which would break scripts, so it can't be changed for /usr/bin/df, but in an ideal world...)

Basically, you can have your cake and eat it too.

This. Architects have to have a really quite rare blend of skills: superbly diplomatic yet inclusive, and ideally in it for the long-haul.
Makes sense since Double Commander is literally a Total Commander clone, way more than Total Commander was a Norton Commander(, etc) clone :-P.
Well, we've got a new dumbest article I've ever read
D1@n@ Furchtg0tt-R0th has somehow outdumbed R@nd@l 0't00le.
Godot, for a few reasons:

- It out-of-the-box exports for web;

- Its GDScript has a low barrier to entry;

- Its UI is very well implemented and simple to learn;

- Should you decide to build your game for other platforms (Win/Lin/Mac, you can;

- If you have a budding interest in game development, you’ve already started with a good engine choice, and can pivot to adding graphics/sound, animation, 3D, multiplayer, etc afterward.

Edit: formatting
If they’re professional, the second person will go “yeah, i can see why you’d do that, lets go with it”.

If a developer, especially a senior developer throws a hissy fit, they’re a Diva and toxic, not a Senior Developer.
Thanks for sharing - I"m curious why he couldn't have declined to write a new edition? What were the incentives such that he felt compelled to play this game? Were royalties time limited or do they just present an ultimatum to rewrite or they'll find the next up-and-coming gunner to write a new version?
I am so tired....so tired of greedy bloody companies.....

Intel tried very hard to get Apple as a customer for the iPhone. They knew very well of mr. Christensen but they simply could not deliver hinting that Intel's problems are not that of strategy but at a lower more fundamental level of competence and ability to organise.

(The stuff about RISC/CISC is a red herring - it basically doesn't matter on a modern cpu.)

Here is an article about Intel and Christensen with clip of him from 2012 (or earlier) where he mentions his work with Intel.

https://www.edgementoring.org/leadership-blog/clayten-christ...

Christensen Taught Intel CEO How To Think And Why It's Important
Well... if you care about emissions, shipping food far away emits a lot, until we get to electric trucks and trains powered by renewables. We're currently a ways away from that.
Some weeks ago I broke my iPhone and had it replaced. During the process I had to get re-authorized with Verizon. They tried to call my partner to get her permission, since she's the account owner. Of course she never picked up the phone, because it was from an unknown caller.

The irony is incredible: the literal phone company cannot use their own product to contact their own customers, because they have let that product become a cesspool of spam.
I'm usually a big fan of stratechery, but for once I disagree with the explanation of Intel's decline.

I think it's much simpler: being number one in fab technology is mostly driven by volume: whoever has the most volume wins. During the PC era, Intel had the most volume, so they also had the best fabs. It's a winner-take-all, self-reinforcing ecosystem.

But in the last 10 years, mobile has had the highest volume. That's what allows TSMC to have the best fabs, and Intel is struggling. That's all there is to it. Nothing to do with services or software.
Many places have tax treaties that allow you to pay taxes to your "home" nation (and/or state/province) as long as you don't stay there/away more than a certain number of days each year. That also assumes you have the right visa to work there legally, and I don't mean work for a local company... I mean do any work that you get paid for such as remote work.
Spiceworks used to be the go to place to discuss stuff like this and even had in person meetups. Not sure if they still do but it is worth checking out!
Yeah, but a lot of that margin is from scale, no? The numbers aren't quite the same when it's just you working on your homelab. Definitely agree with self-hosting when it makes sense, but cost alone might not be a good reason.
Never said it was.

> Alas you are right, we're all tied together- until we're not :)

The south tried that once when the battle lines made more sense. We all know what happened there - annihilation. Maybe that is necessary again.
It kind of goes both ways, politicians "allowing" themselves to be lobbied by big telecom.
Not trolling or being a bad HN citizen but:

Why did this take so long?

There are already laws on the books. New legislation (read: added time) isn't necessary. Everyone suffers from this problem. No one, sans the violators, is in favor of this problem. That is, it's a political win regardless of party, state, etc.

Yet after years of pin-prick torture there's going to be a task force?

I'm confused.
I find your misanthropy surprising since the parent provided a clear explanation of the problem.

Nonetheless, it is a shame that they engage in such behavior and that they live under abusive government structures that funnel them into such things.
Exactly. It's water. It's not bleach. If you take a multivitamin and eat a varied diet, there is no "magic" nutritional value lost. Water doesn't have to come out of a Voss water bottle or the ground to be "healthy".
I thought of ulfheim too and it redirects to the new site.

Let's be honest, a 99.999% of people with a BMI > 27.5 did not get that way from hitting the gym too much. Weight lifters love to call out BMI as being worthless, but they ignore the fact that any exercise for American adults is rare, much less the amount of exercise required to hit a BMI of >25 due to pure muscle mass.

The average adult male is in terrible shape.

FWIW, people who exercise regularly should combine waist to height ratio (WHtR) with BMI. If you're BMI is high, but your WHtR is <0.5, then you're good. Otherwise, you're at risks for heart disease and stroke, even if you "look" healthy.
Whenever I got a call not speaking "your car warranty will expire soon" these days I feel like just won some lottery.

Please put those who are doing this to jail for life. I will vote for you in the midterm election.
Sure, if you ensure that every bit of state is going to the ORM, and the ORM caches nothing. Of course, that tends to ensure that what is and what isn't side effect free is massively obfuscated, which seems like you're including some new negatives, but I will totally agree there are other ways to ensure state goes to the state store; I already did.
How can consumers feel confident that the insights they're getting are backed by legitimate research? (In other words, how are you escaping the perception that this is Theranos 2.0?)
In Canada and while I do get some it’s fairly rare. Maybe 1 a month.
So, says you, because it was aesthetically unpleasant for you. That's a far cry from "should always be... reserved for... must".

Now we need to lockstep our team's version upgrade since I just learned some tooling will otherwise bounce it back and forth. "Thanks."

Other than the thing I said, which means it is now literally a special-case in the fmt code where it wasn't before.

Yeah, I don't personally mess with anything but Chrome, and I consider supporting browsers that are not Chromium-based to be a fork of the entire project.

Per the Disclaimer in the Github README (https://github.com/linuxontheweb/LOTW/):

---------------

LOTW is developed in the crouton environment, which involves ChromeOS in developer mode. All development and testing is currently done on a Chromebook, using an up-to-date Chrome browser.

The system should basically work in any modern browser and host OS, but there are likely many tiny glitches that degrade the user experience in other browsers and/or operating systems.

---------------

The crucial fact of LOTW is that it is based around the concept of a full-featured, sandboxed file system in your browser. Only Chromium-based browsers natively support that kind of thing via 'webkitRequestFileSystem'.

That being said, there is a shim/polyfill that is supposed to load and take care of that (https://github.com/linuxontheweb/LOTW/blob/main/www/js/fs-sh..., created by Eric Bidelman when he was at Google). Last I knew, Firefox seemed to work with it.
A cursory Google search shows that negative numbers are introduced in 4th-6th grade. For me, I only remember that particular instance of shadow day and just remember it seeming novel at the time (in terms of it being taught). I actually don't have much recollection when things were introduced outside of that until later in junior high or high school. If I remember right, it was specifically about negative numbers, and from what I recall it was me thinking that it was just subtraction or something along those lines.

> Agile approaches do not mention architecture

Scaled Agile pretty explicitly covers every aspect of the development process.

I learned a lot from Graeber's book, this particular claim I later unlearned.

If anyone would like to follow that lead, start here https://fermatslibrary.com/s/shelling-out-the-origins-of-mon...

The tl;dr is that humanity has at least an 80,000 year history of goods which are fungible, collectible, portable, scarce, and made to an exact standard, traded between people who may not speak the same language for any other sort of trade good. The familiar example is wampum, but the practice predates the colonization of the Americas by many multiples.

Debt is where state money comes from. But shell and hunk money is where states got it from, and the systems coexisted into the late 19th century.
This response is more insulting than it needs to be. There's nothing amazing about thinking that in order to solve a hard problem, you need to do a hard thing. Whether or not implementing political change is a necessary first step to solving climate change has nothing to do with whether implementing political change is hard or even impossible. It's absolutely plausible that there's no way to solve climate change without systemic change. It's also plausible that we can't solve climate change without systemic change AND that systemic change is very hard or even impossible. These statements aren't contradictory. In addition, tying the suggestion to a political party and then calling it stupid is not a constructive form of discourse.
Interesting. I spend about 3 or 4 hours a week watching Chess games re-streamed on YouTube and never use the Chess online platforms. I missed the drama.

From my point of view, it is all good, and I am happy to see players getting compensated any way possible. BTW, Nakamura is especially entertaining!
Pearson isn't going to give any money to authors with this scheme. Their contracts with authors will just specify they only get paid a royalty on primary sales. Authors will need to keep up the edition churn if they want to keep getting a cut of sales.
I teach my students to do, not listen. I demo and they work. I can't imagine using a book for any class that isn't specifically scholarship.
Why? It always seemed like a quirk of the physicality of books that authors don't get any kind of compensation when their book is resold to others. I find it very strange that 10 people might have read a book, but only 1 person actually paid the author.
I found that OMAD (one meal a day) works well for me. I've been consistently losing 1-2kg per month on it, and it's something I feel I could sustain forever.
Well, sticking with the analogy you're falling back to a taco made from different ingredients rather than just a part of the burrito. That can be intrusive if they decide to put chicken instead of ground beef in it.

More concretely, it's using a totally different tool to get a subset of functionality you want vs other solutions.

Personally I don't see a reason why one would do that, but more power to you if you do. If anything, ordering the taco sometimes is going to give you a more refined palette than if you got the same burrito each time (i.e. more experience in the problem space you're working in).

(I'm getting hungry now...)
Neat to see this here, I just started using this app a couple months ago and I like it.

I've been a big fan of alternative file managers for years. I loved LIST back in the DOS days as an alternative to DIR =) where you could easily browse folders, and view files in regular or hex view with a keypress.

After moving to Windows, I wanted something similar and found The V File Viewer (used to be called V, The File Viewer) by Charles Prineas (https://www.fileviewer.com). This has hex view, CSV view, and many other useful features. It can be set up in a dual-paned fashion similar to the *-Commander line of apps, but with its own approach. I used Total Commander for a while too and registered it, but didn't stick with it.

Recently I wanted something similar that I could put on computers at work and share with staff, and found Double Commander and like it a lot. It has its own approach and quirks as well, but I'm getting used to it.

I also like that fact that it's written in Free Pascal and Lazarus. I used to do a lot with Delphi and this has gotten me back into that language with the thought that I might be able to contribute some changes at some point.

Also along those lines, just the other day I learned about CudaText which is a very nice open source programmer's editor similar to SublimeText. It's also written in Free Pascal and Lazarus. I'm happier using this and sharing with staff than I am with Visual Studio Code which comes with too much overbearing MS-ness for my preferences.
Ah, but are they treating it as a business that needs to earn a reasonable amount of money.
Those can be tested for separately. Given a candidate that's otherwise already disciplined and healthy enough to work at a desk job, what benefit is there in specifically requiring fitness for its own sake?

A couple of weekends ago we got like 20 calls within 2 hours from the same scammer call center. I begged them to stop calling, telling the "agent" it was a waste of their time as they would not be able to scam me and it would be in their best interest to flag my number. I may have finally convinced one of them after talking to him more than once.

BUT... at the same time my wife called AT&T and kind of read them the riot act. We figured if everyone started complaining maybe they'd get their collective act together and start solving this. Overhearing the call, it sounded like the agent recommended moving to VOIP to gain access to tools to help cut this down.

If they can largely solve this on cell (we get maybe a 1/10th of the calls on cell) and voip, why can't they solve this for landlines? I suspect the industry has a vested interest to get us off of landlines/POTS.
> 1) Let my filter out all calls not originating on an US/Canadian landline/mobile carrier

This, plus state/province level filtering as well would completely solve the issue for me.
This is a story about the author of this article failing to find the answer. Which leaves me wondering.., why write the article?
A former coworker went through a stretch where his manager deliberately assigned him insufficient work and refused to let him do anything but assigned tasks, in order to get him to quit, and he said it was the most miserable time of his career. Having more work than you can fill your days with is an ideal state of affairs, because it means you never run out of work.

Of course, as you point out, to work like that sustainably it is important to pace yourself, limiting working time. The natural consequence of that is a need for prioritizing the todo list, because not all of it will get done. I say “the” todo list, because if there are multiple they must be merged so it can be determined what tasks come first. It is cumbersome and distracting to do this merging and develop a business understanding of everything landing in an inbox to be able to prioritize it so indeed a natural temptation is to let a manager do this toil, and just follow their cue.

The consequence of letting a manager setting priorities is a loss of control. You have to have faith the manager will give the right kind of work in the right amount. I am not a good fit for this approach, so I tend to take control of my todo list by proposing my own projects or seizing opportunities as they pass by. This does require having good relations up and down the org chart and good insights into the nature of the business, so ymmv.

Seeing work as finite is imho mistaken. The possible work that can be done in a business is effectively infinite, and an effective business will find the best set of work to do with the resources they have, and an optimal level of resources to do enough work to deliver value, but without breaking the bank.
It was replaced by corporate gatekeepers. Now instead of having an architect you go to before you commit to a design, you simply do whatever you feel like, often without even having an idea what the end result is supposed to look like. You spend 6 months working on it and then right before you go live, you have to pass it in front of the gatekeepers, and they say, "What the fuck is this disaster? No, you can't launch, Jesus Christ." And then the cycle repeats until it's not a tire fire.

Nobody on an agile team today thinks to ask the Systems Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Architects, etc, whether their design might need changes. They have been told they alone are responsible for building the thing, so they steam right ahead. There is no adult in the room to get them to do due diligence, so it just doesn't get done. So Architects are now just a silo of red tape.
That's a tweet, not a compiler, sorry.
>“Not your Problem” is a fine response to that, but as an example I had a friend with a serious health condition who was afraid he’d jeopardize / bankrupt any small startup he joined (and he was probably right).

I thought most startups were part of a larger group plan (ie: through their third party benefits provider) so the costs would be distributed across that group plan.
Because lots of legitimate callers to me are located in the US, calling from a cell phone or landline, and I don't have them in my contacts.

For instance, contractors coming to do work on the house may be calling from any number of cell phones, or people buying things from Craigslist. For Craigslist, if I were to filter out all the non-US originating calls and texts, would probably result in all the spam being dropped and at no expense to legitimate buyers.
The generic response to your type of reasoning is that you might need to rethink what you think "why" and "how" and "have a clue" are defined :)

The human mind really wants to understand things in terms of the paltry slow coarse-grained 3D world we inhabit, despite 100 years of QM and QFT-based experiments showing that the world simply doesn't work that way. Can't other realms have other "why"'s? Tens of thousands of professional solid state physicists and QM researchers would probably not refer to their field as "not having a clue" for example, any more than anybody working in a field dominated by Newtonian mechanics would have a clue at least.

In fact, if you make a simulated world in a computer game, it's trivial to come up with algorithms that do alternative physics in the game that can create interesting behaviour, despite being far from explanatory for a being inside the sim.. I'm rather amazed the reality we inhabit is so easy to comprehend as it is even despite QM/QFT being pretty far from Newtonian.
The CISC vs RISC point Ben makes is key here. Intel could have been a big player in mobile: it put too much focus on x86 though when it could have been making (its own or others) Arm based SoCs.

Edit: not that Arm is necessarily RISC - but it certainly takes an approach that is different to x86 and better suited to mobile.

>Meanwhile, GDPR is yet another disruptive annoyance to users, a burden on overworked, under-funded website teams and isn't delivering the benefits promised.

Users can now demand we delete their account and data and we have to do it, this is some work for us but it is good for users.

Also do you forget that popups were a thing before GDPR? Modal for you to subscribe to some shit,monthly Terms of Service changes, notifications to see what new feature was added, to see what new stuff some contact posted were a thing, with GDPR you get a one time popup , you make your choice and you should be done.

In summary

Pros for users:

- transparency, you now know about the 100+ partners and you can decide

- you can ask for your data and ask for it to be deleted

- you will get notified if your private data is lost(mioght be adifferent law for security breaches)

Cons:

- Shit websites use dark patterns and annoy you with a popup one time

No Pros for developers, companies:
Cons for devs and companies:

- you need to research the law and find ways to screw the user with dark patterns

- you need to update some old project and remove tracking or implement some popup , implement account deletion, data demands etc

- you need to update your ToS documents, privacy policies

- almost never happens, you remove tracking or configure your ad script to don't track and you don't store private data.

From what I see users EU ones) have a lot to win, I assume if you are not in EU seeing the popup is a bug and would be fix .
Facebook's changes have taken a whole lot of users from "I am on here because it's useful and I actively like it" to "I am on here only because of inertia and network effects, but dislike it and will be happy when I can get rid of it"

May not have killed the golden goose yet, but they've sure sharpened the axe, stretched the neck over the block, and drawn a little X right in the middle.
