I wouldn’t read too much into 2G figures meaning 2G-only phones (or 3G). In my experience once you get out of populated areas connections often drop to 2G, even on my 5G capable iPhone. It’s mostly a coverage issue not a handset issue.
I would never dare using Google for something as critical as a domain name. Even if they're legit, the minute you have a problem you can be sure you'll never have an answer other than "We identified an issue on your side. Case closed, don't use our services again."

> Depends on the user; I dislike tearing everywhere, including games (distracting when focus is important and hard to notice details when moving).

Yes, that was my point that not everyone has the same requirements. This is why i gave my usecase as an example - and of course with details to help others who might be in the same position as me but don't know where to look to help themselves.

> I have never been able to get rid of tearing on Xorg without unacceptable side effects (very uneven framerate, with microfreezes of a few frames when playing with options). This prevented me from using Linux-based desktops as main OS for a long time. (although I could have bought another GPU) [..] up-to-date nvidia drivers, the experience is completely tear-free and I am back to Linux as default boot OS.

At least on my AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and the open source drivers, i do not have issues. With VRR i even had silky smooth animations (though right now i am using a 60Hz monitor without VRR).

TBH since i was always in the "no-vsync camp", even when i had an Nvidia GPU i always had it disabled in as many places i knew where it can be disabled :-P but IIRC there is an environment variable that is equivalent to vblank_mode (or even that :-P it has been years since i had an Nvidia GPU).

There is nothing really special or weird about Xorg here, vsync isn't rocket science. As long as the application (and desktop compositor, if you use one) uses the proper APIs it should work fine. Assuming there isn't anything broken on the Nvidia side, of course.
I agree most are hard working and no complaints, but that isn't necessarily the best quality. I so often have to speak up against BS because my 90+% Indian team is too passive. I'm also an immigrant, so same work authorization concern.

12 seconds down to 9 seconds is not negligible. What is negligible is 12 down to 11.999 seconds because you prematurely optimized.

And even for "normal" users, shaving milliseconds matter. The general idea is that a UI should respond within 100ms to feel instantaneous. More than 1s and you interrupt the flow of thought. According to Google research, increasing page load time from 1s to 3s increases bounce rate by 32%.

Performance matters, a lot. I am not living in the UK, but if I was, I would be happy to pay taxes that make government websites 25% faster.

And even without the performance benefits, I consider removing dependencies a good thing. jQuery was great in the IE6 days, but now that even 10 year old browsers have decent JS, it is not as important as it once was. Modern versions of jQuery don't even support IE6 anymore.
Yes, that is basically the idea. it can only be enforced for european citizens, but everyone must comply.
A GPU is almost certainly what you want. Modern GPUs have some interesting tricks up their sleeves that make them much better at branching code than previously.

A non-mobile work environment, but unplug one cord and you can take the laptop part to meetings, including offsite, you can travel with it, work from the coffee shop or roof or park, keep working if there's work being done on your office (painting or whatever) so you can't be in there at the moment, if you usually work in a corporate office but WFH some days you still have the same machine, can take it to co-workers' desks to show them stuff without having to screen-share and having both workstations together at once, which can be nice in some situations. Built in UPS is sometimes handy, too—no power-offs because you kicked a cord.

I'm not arguing against desktops for people who like them but this "I don't understand laptops" stuff (several posts, not just this one) is bizarre.
All three. The order came from above, that's how command economy (what socialist regimes generally implement) works. However, that order was result of insufficient funding, which left nothing to set up independent research pipeline in the area.

At the same time, Kremlin did often stifle development on purpose, under guise of "common good". Especially in dependent states across Europe and smaller Soviet Republics. In theory, this was meant to prevent internal competition and waste of resources. In practice it was a way to sell inferior goods and create dependency on the central authority. This happened with everything, computers, trains, cars.
> Nobody I know in real life has any experiences of casteism

But there are people claiming discrimination based on caste. It’s the matter of an ongoing landmark lawsuit [1].

Personal experience is a bad filter because it’s shaped by the same factors we’re measuring. I haven’t experienced real racism because I’ve consistently been in environments removed from racists. I recognise, however, that other environments exist.

I do have an idea that might work for this scenario. If I can calculate unique visits differently, I can drop the salted hash from the database too. I'm guessing that should be sufficient to satisfy most privacy conscious users.

I'm heavily in favor of remote-WFH who prefers async communication, but this is a multi faceted problem. What do you do when the employees who actually need to be engaged in the problem use WFH to slack off and not prepare for meetings?

This might touch a nerve, but some tech workers are grown up man-children with little to no discipline (I'm sure everyone here knows some) since they got through life by having adults (parents, guardians, teachers, bosses, coaches, mentors) keep them accountable for their work/progress, and once the move form the office to home happened, they stopped doing much work and treated it as a vacation, since they didn't like their job much anyway and they were just there for the paycheck, and as their boss/colleagues couldn't see them slack off the whole day it felt like they weren't accountable to anyone anymore.

I've already seen several people let go due to this.

Not all of those blogs are about being healthy. Some of them are just about reaching and maintaining the popular societal understanding of appearing "fit". I mean damn, one of the blogs is literally called Look Great Naked!

I totally agree, for the record. For the majority of people counting calories and recording reps isn't something they'll be interested in doing their entire lives, any more than they'd be interested in updating new device drivers and reflashing their OS if an easier, brainless alternative existed. And it does! Walk, bike, or run a little bit every day; eat less carbs than you'd prefer, and try to eat more vegetables than you would otherwise. I'm no expert whatsoever, but I've travelled all over the world and that advice seems to be the only constant amongst all the healthiest people I've seen.

> nobody will use the Paris region outside of customers in and around France, does it make sense to build and operate 3 DCs for such a market? Apparently AWS decided that it doesn't and they use Equinix PA2 and PA3, among others, for that.

There may be something else to it... they are launching a Spain region [1] this year with three data centers. My guess is that it will be both heavily subsidized and much cheaper to operate than a similar project in France.

> The parent comment was asking for "bug-fixes and nothing else" so I have no idea why you are talking about new features.

Because "bug-fixes and nothing else" isn't enough as i described in the comment you replied to right now as well as in a more detailed comment i replied to the parent post.

> If they wanted new features then it was not a waste of time. There are plenty of new features in GTK3 and GTK4, those are the main reason to port.

It was a waste of time because new features can be added in backwards compatible and opt-in ways that keep all existing applications and source code working while still using the latest version of the libraries.

Gtk4 breaking backwards compatibility with Gtk3 wasn't an unavoidable act of nature, it was a decision made by the Gtk developers, my comments are a criticism of this decision and its consequences for the developers that rely on Gtk.
Yeah agreed, as I mentioned elsewhere I don't see why phone number should be required. It's a good default (esp. for non-technical users) to use phone number and contacts (= "social network"), but I really don't see what the problem is with using email or just username/password combo and then adding contacts manually from wherever. Why not have that option? Most people would likely still use their phone number for this.

This is not MVC's problem to solve. It also doesn't solve global warming.

If you have unprotected multithreaded imperative updates of global data, nothing is consistent. Has nothing to do with MVC or no MVC.

Actually having a consistent state to present to the UI is the model's problem.

Oh, and for goodness sake, don't have any kind of async update process running in the controller. All this stuff belongs in the model.

If you're doing that sort of stuff in the controller, I can see why you're having problems with concurrency. You're also almost certainly not doing MVC.
If you actually talk with the most active NIMBYs, they tend to be more concerned with quality of life than with property values.

You might consider them selfish but their concerns aren't irrational.

This is good. I don't know how effective it will be in practice however since all forms of outlawed discrimination largely end up in the "culture fit" bucket.

"Culture fit" is really insidious. Like many forms of discrimination I don't think it's even necessarily a conscious bias but this absolutely still exists (eg [1]). "Culture fit" is an umbrella for de facto racism, sexism, ageism and classism.

Reminds me of a passage from the great Jack Vance.

Paraphrasing:

"To construct a society based on caste distinctions, a minimum of two persons is both necessary and sufficient." - Baron Bodissey
Names in some regions of India correlate strongly with caste. Physical appearance can also be somewhat suggestive. There are however regions in India that have given up the use of last names are adopted new last names as a counter to casteism. Diet also tends to be somewhat indicative - in regions without high prevalence of vegetarianism, castes with high ritual status tend to be vegetarian.

A barrier to casteism in the diaspora (and in higher class circles in cosmopolitan cities in India) is that an Indian from one region of India is unlikely to know the last names of Indians from other regions of India. Likewise with diet, many Brahmins from a vegetarian background adopt a non-vegetarian diet so it's really not a useful distinguisher.

FWIW, I haven't perceived any casteism in tech companies, or anyone trying to ask my caste, and I have an ambiguous last name and eat a meat-heavy diet. There's a decent chance my experiences would be different if I worked in less elite tech companies (e.g. Cisco) rather than top startups / FAANGs.
Well, you can let the view do this and things get better ;-)
I've implemented this solution. Great idea. Thanks again for your feedback.
I remember reading that it’s a big problem at Cisco. In your dad’s example what ended up happening? From your description the guy who refused to work in the higher caste should be fired imo.

Yeah, if only there was, like, an async attribute or something.

So, jQuery is way too heavy for these people, but interaction tracking analytics (these packages usually start around 200kB) is perfectly fine?

> total page load time dropped from 19.44 seconds to 17.75 seconds

Burying the lede here, if my team celebrated a 17 second page load, we'd be fired on the spot. Going out on a limb here to suggest jQuery is the least of their problems.
I generally support keeping nuclear plants open, but if they've already been planned to shutdown for years, it seems counterproductive to suddenly try to open them again at the last minute. How can that possibly be cost effective when there's so many other options available?

Does anyone actually want to do this, or is it all political games to look like you're not ruling anything out?
Exactly. It was cute for a few years, but these jQuery bashing thoughtpieces are so worn out now. As React and the long tail of frameworks slides into it's twilight years, it's clear in retrospect that jQuery was just a much more responsible and sound architecture (mostly because it cleaved to standards) than any of the things that spawned the 1000 "why I'm leaving jQuery for _this_" blogposts every day.

So it would hold until the first wind or rain -- keeping in mind that these specs are for a modern forge-produced chain.
