I believe TB4 cables at least are required to be compatible with USB3.2 gen2 x2, but ports aren't (Apple laptops are not compatible apparently).
People new to GitHub may want to look at the Trending / Explore pages to get a feel for the site. Those who are frequent users may skip that in the normal course of their business but drop in once in a while, if they are curious.

It is okay. At least in the segment of GH users who cared about the feature, there was a significant enough outcry from GH's perspective that they chose to rollback their decision.
Greetings ordinary and non-remarkable commenter who has no special insight into Mastodon's workings! I don't know anything about the project but I have been watching the journey of the big social networks with interest. If you're taking questions - what do you think are the typical needs of new users as they hear about and start trying mastodon? How do you envision onboarding happening?
It's like the problem isn't the platform or the technology, but people aren't meant to voice their ideas for the whole world to see, anonymously. It's such a naive view that it's a good idea to attach a megaphone to anyone's mouth.

The focus on decentralisation and not on solving the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory [1] means they focused on the wrong problem. They've just created an island for jerkwads that think they are better from the other jerkwads at the bird site.

Now, I wouldn't be against a Twitter-like for direct friends. Like Google+ for a moment tried to do before it imploded.

The choice to go with Microsoft eventually saved Nokia.

Offloading the Mobile Phone unit to Microsoft for nice $7 billion gave them room to breath. Without this, the losses from mobile phones might have dragged the whole company down and somebody could have acquired them for a small price.
And then there were those of us who weren't even scared, and just took all those actions simply because it was the right thing to do. Now of course, we're just as screwed as everyone, all because more money for a few that already have too much of it is far more important than "doing the right thing" or "human life" (or any life, apparently). More money for the already filthy rich is by far the most important thing in the entire Universe.
I recently saw a documentary that showed researchers actually using a magnet to find micro meteorites. I tried it in our yard with my five-year-old, and we found lots of small iron containing particles, some of which looked black and glassy under the microscope.
> "Science is political" because most scientists aspire to answer questions that will have value for society.

Let me rephrase the last part of this slightly to help illustrate the problem:

Most scientists aspire to answer questions that will have value for people.

Scientists have discovered all kinds of fascinating stuff that has vastly improved people's lives. For example, all the discoveries that made possible the medium in which we are having this conversation. But there's no reason any of that has to be political. Scientific discoveries have greatly empowered people in all kinds of ways that don't require any politics to work.

The reason science is political is that some people want to use it as a tool, not to empower all people, but to empower themselves at the expense of other people. They want science to give them an excuse to tell other people what to do or what not to do. That is the difference between "value for people" and "value for society". If it's "value for people", then each person can judge that for themselves, and use the tools of science as they choose to improve their lives. But if it's "value for society", then who gets to judge that for "society"? That is where the problem lies. To the extent that there is a valid point lurking in this article, I think that's it.
The good thing about having multiple Mastodon servers is you can sign up for multiple accounts (one on each server) and use each one for a specific purpose. I have three separate Mastodon accounts: one for general postings, one for posting photos only, and one for book reviews. Followers can choose which 'aspect' of me to follow and ignore the rest.

This is unlike Twitter, where followers have no choice but to put up with my thoughts, book reviews and photos even if they are only interested in one thing.
The same amount of money can be a lot or little for the same country, depending on a lot of things. Length of war, manpower losses, economic contraction due to the war, revolutions, famine?

- If a job has more than 2 rounds, no thanks.

- If they send me a leetcode or test before speaking to me, no thanks.

- If the job ad says anything about "culture", no thanks.

- If my first interview is with an HR person, no thanks.

- If the job ad or email mention anything about making a video of myself, I will delete that mofo with extreme prejudice.

- If the job application requires me to sign up to your website, no thanks.

I have 15 years of commercial experience. When I apply for a job, all I want is to speak to one technical person in the team that has oversight. If that is too much to ask then I'm just not throwing my name in that hat for the inevitable humiliation ritual.

But the reality is that (web-dev) jobs are over-saturated. There are plenty of people willing to go through this. Which is why I'm looking for a way out.
There are also the Mind machines [1]. At least in Europe, there's still a company Galaxy that sells them under the "psychowalkman" name.

I've used about 20 years ago. It wasn't unpleasant, but also without a big effect. I think it was because the overall feeling was a bit like a medical examination. You put plastic gear on your eyes and your ears, tangled cables everywhere... and then you're supposed to relax.

Do you have any leads on short term contracts? Would accept one in an instant.

The problem is upwork takes a 20% cut and has bad terms and has a very flaky client base, while everything that VC money touches pays way better but hires non-contract fulltime only (fine) and has these rediculous interview cycles that I never seem to pass through.

I think if you put me in a stack of candidates that did leet code, i am basically never in the top 3 fastest, so that makes me unemployable in a system where resumes dont matter, personality is suspected to be bullshit, and speed of test completion is the only metric that can be used to rank candidates. Not in the top 3 fastest test takers? Get fucked.
There is also a chance that we manage to kill most phytoplankton. That would make the planet very unpleasant for a while.
It's entirely an anecdote, but from my experience, Win7 was broadly accepted as a good iteration among techies and non-techies both.

As a software engineer, I actually find a lot more to be excited about in Win10+ thanks to WSL and other such things. But I don't hear my acquaintances who are non-techies being positive about anything from Win8 on.
It may be humorous, but it spot on for when you're searching for some item on Amazon. I've been there and done that so many times... it's just so tiring.
"minor increases in labor costs"

Minor increases wouldn't be worth organizing an union over, would they?

Or they are on the order of 30-40 per cent, which no longer falls under "minor" and can turn some kind of automation technology barely, but profitable.

Not everything is matter of "many people mashing the automation buttons". Business involves a lot of trade-offs and the decision making is pretty complicated. Neither you nor me can really predict all the butterfly effects involved.

I wish them success, but presenting the wage/budget situation as totally immune to balance changes is unrealistic.

At least here in Europe you can't see that young kids with any watch, it's extremely rare to see kid with those huge bulky watch with GPS even I wouldn't put on my hand (anything thicker than 10mm is crazy), they look literally like they are in home prison.

First piece of electronics my kids will be wearing will be most likely Casio F91W, they already have cheap Chinese clones.

The average size of a Robin Hood account is $4k. The average IRA is like $150k, but lets assume that most of the larger balances are held by people close to retirement age.

Nice strawman. I have never said to never talk to your users, but to pretend that using data is meaningless and you should follow some bullshit and vague "good argument" instead is just sheer foolishness.
Interesting perspective that resonates with me. What do you think of firebase + flutter with regards to single dev empowerment and entry barriers?

Some of the most interesting and friendly places to work at, where I learned the most, were small companies.

But why? Tolkien's work is done. The amount of money spent on extending it could easily create a different world of its own. The reason they don't is audience recognition, mostly in the title in this case it seems. That, to me, is not a good reason to dilute Tolkien's legacy with stuff he didn't create and would not have wanted. Let them create something fully original.
I wonder if it's easier or harder keeping one alive in Japan.

This is a distro problem in my opinion.

What I as a user want is to keep my distro on the "blessed path" of components. i.e. things installed via packages, able to be rolled back, the whole works.

So challenge 1 in 95% of cases is: "try the latest version" - which isn't packaged or available for my distro.

If it works, great, maybe? But it's now this ugly thin bolted into my environment. Brittle, maybe breaking other stuff, who knows.

If it doesn't - same problem, but getting back to my original environment will be tough.

Out of the box on Ubuntu...there is no real system to easily upgrade packages. Which is a damn shame, because with pbuilder and a bunch of scripts (which is easier to use then podman or docker for this - why? Why do we not have a good containerized build tool?) you can get pretty close to this experience.

Which is to say though: why isn't this an OotB priority for open-source based platforms? If we want bugs - good bug reports - and code contributed back to the platform, then it needs to be part of the basic way the platform works. It needs to be easy to get the code, build the code, and update the code, and roll it back if it doesn't work.

We need less impenetrable packaging tools then the debian system (which isn't bad, once you understand what it's trying to do, but good lord, dgit blackbox helps with a lot of stuff and until I discovered it there was just no hope - and even then, a lot of hours of learning).
Qm.n notation is for fixed point numbers, not floating point. As OP said, floating point was not a viable option at the time.
It sounds like they’re using XP, or something similar. In XP, the code is reviewed and tested as it’s written, using pairing or mobbing for the review and TDD for the testing. (XP also uses frequent pair switching and collective ownership to get more eyes on the code, but it’s not clear to me whether they are or not.) So when the code is deployed, it’s already been reviewed and tested.

The review they’re talking about here comes later, as a way of keeping the team in sync. It’s not the main code review mechanism.
There aren’t many industries which are as easy to access whilst paying between $100k and $skys_the_limit.
> the libraries for interfacing with actual third party services or doing mundane things are a bit lacking

Can you provide concrete examples for this? I work with Elixir every day and your statement does not resonate with me at all.

Integrating with third party services and doing mundane things are generally no harder in Elixir than any other language.
Speaking as a Russian who grew up in the 90s, NATO was never a real threat to post-Soviet Russia. Our "national patriot" political faction made it into a threat in its propaganda because they needed an existential enemy to build their ideology up on.

A great metaphor, unless it’s used inappropriately, which is like 99% of the time. And Kotter is the excuse for a ton of change-by-imposition too. As someone interested in change, I kinda wish that the 1990’s hadn’t happened. There is a lot that’s good and exciting in the organisation development space, but that metaphor and Kotter’s model are not representative of it.

From that I would guess Google, who are known to be douchebags in the interview process and in the peer-eval process.

Hell, they admitted as much a few years ago... and claimed they were going to try to be better.
and it's worth noting that this isn't hypothetical. the c standard is somewhat unclear and contradictory, and as such no two c compilers fully agree with each other on what the standard actually means.
Nokia transit / HERE transit was my favorite public transit app back when I used windows phone. It had a unique way [1] of presenting transit options that was far more convenient than the simple list that every other app does. Sadly the current HERE WeGo app also does the simple scrolling list, so I see no reason to use it.

I don't use Mastodon, so perhaps that's why. It always seemed like a Twitter clone except with fewer people and, importantly for this particular discussion, where you can't interact with anyone.

Guess I was mistaken, but that's why I never bothered to learn anything further about it.
Throughout most of the US, if you turn on the radio and flick through the stations, you will hear evangelical Christian messaging.

> Great hw engineers let down by less than stellar software decisions.

I remember reading a deep dive into how exactly Nokia run it's cellular department, in it's corporate culture... and things there were not great. Everything were behind the red tape and countless meetings, every feature had someone who was appointed as an 'owner' of that feature and if you need to change something what would somehow involve that feature you needed an approval from that owner. And if the guy didn't want to give the approval, because he was afraid to take the responsibility than there was nothing you could with it. Same in the Symbian dept.

People like to shit on Elop, but with or without him the mighty Finnish giant would die anyway. With Elop and MS deal they, at least, tried to do something and saved jobs for a couple of years (though not all). Without MS deal all those people would been on the street in 2013 at best.
Nokia has been one of the companies I had most fun working at, you just met the wrong folks.

>At the lower-end price range, Chinese OEMs are cranking out a device much faster than, as one Nokia employee said only partially in jest, “the time that it takes us to polish a PowerPoint presentation.” They are fast, they are cheap, and they are challenging us.

Never forget that no matter how brilliant you think your company is, there are five of those companies in China, four of which are brand new and working in a playground of mass production at scales you can't comprehend. If the world ever shifts power and relevance to China the whole West will collectively have a burning platform situation. China's not just "cheap", and when people start trusting them for the occasional higher-quality product, and there's a market for it, they'll come for all of us.

Make no mistake, China's industrial prowess will be the major game-changing force in the 2020's.
The N9 was not Symbian though. What I read was that there was a serious management culture issue at Nokia. Even before Elop Meego efforts were seriously sabotaged by the Symbian camp (the N9 was significantly delayed for example) .

Mind you that memo and the decisions made were either incredibly stupid or part of a strategy by the shareholders to break apart Nokia. I mean apart from the fact that you tell the public that you don't believe in your product while selling it, they also decided to axe the Meego version N9 successor even though it was essentially ready. Many believe that was done to not risk it being a success, which would have revealed the whole strategy change to be wrong.
oh so it was just my imagination they first required email, them they required phone and I don't use VPN/TOR, maybe avoid black statements if you don't have clue, when did you try to register last time?
Granted I haven’t played in space. Maybe text rendering is more complicated than indoor positioning. But there we simply made sure results were numerically deterministic on a given machine given a known seed. However, we would always run with a random seed to make sure we didn’t over tune to random initial parameters. And we did manage to make the system numerically stable (ie random perturbations still resulted in the expected value +/- some error). And yes, the system was highly non linear (lognormal probability calculations, Kalman filters, etc).

Do you have specific knowledge that it is actually difficult due to some nuance specific to layout because you’ve spent time on the problem or is that an institution you have from first principles?
One of the most interesting/unique user interfaces for a train ticket machine I have used in a long time are ones you still occasionally see in French train stations [1].

Rather than a touch screen or buttons, you use a wheel much like the original ipod. To select an item you rotate the wheel, and then to confirm that selection you press the center button.

After a few times using it, I actually came to love its simplicity, you could scrub through train stations incredibly quickly, and with just those buttons (and a cancel button) you could complete the whole process of buying a ticket in less than 30 seconds.

Sadly, I think these machines are on the way out.

>has things which makes little sense for "high performance"

Such as?

>(16-bit aligned 32bit instructions with the C extension)

For virtually no cost (see brucehoult reply to my parent post), it brings greatly increased code density, which means more code fits in L1, or same thing, that you can make it smaller and clock it higher. This actually benefits high performance microarchitectures greatly.

See M1's L1 size for an example of why ARMv9 AArch64 is mind-blowingly bad. ARM's literally lost its marbles.

>(too simple addressing mode)

More complex addressing modes were evaluated and discarded, as they only brought harm, no benefit.

This is a pattern in RISC-V, where decisions were made after careful weighting, rather than some individual's favored way of doing things.
