The Queen is a symbol of the UK's terrible past just as much as Barack Obama is a symbol of the USA's terrible past. In fact, the Queen was a figurehead and had zero authority over any decisions that the British government made.

Nobody chooses to be born into their specific circumstances. Barack Obama overcame all of the circumstances of his birth and became more powerful than the Queen, who gained her position by birthright.

Scoffing at someone for benefiting from the circumstances of their birth is an outdated, pessimistic and cynical worldview in my opinion. It's out of touch with a world where Barack Obama and Rishi Sunak and Leo Varadkar are world leaders. Everyone is free to keep having those views though, I just don't relate at all.
Not sure if the site was updated, but there are multiple comments here about sales tax missing for the US price. The site clearly states it added that tax for Canada and the US, and shows two prices for each country reflecting the lowest and highest tax applicable based on where you buy the phone.

Some things you need to know:

SAP is sold to the C=suit, never to IT or business operations, nor any of the people that will ever come onto contact with the software.

SAP is priced based on your company's revenue. In industry X typical spend on IT is y% of revenue, so SAP will charge you a project for an amount equal to y% of your revenue.

SAP project often fail (this is not specific to SAP but common for large projects). Making sure that in case the project fails it is the customers fault will be strategically taken into account from day 1.

SAP's revenue is for the large majority based on consultancy and education revenue, not on software sales.

SAP's data and business process model maturity varies extremely depending on the industry and business segment. This will not be clear in the sales trajectory and not easy to discover upfront.

SAP is a fairly closed ecosystem. Typically consultants are recruited straight out of school and never leave the stack as it is very different from the rest of the industry. It has it's own cultute and habits that do not travel well outside of it's niche.
Yes, the monarch is just figure head.

Charles II decided that his brother would be his heir.

Parliament decided otherwise and replaced James with William of Orange in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Parliament rules supreme.

It’s why they ceremonially slam the door of the House of Commons in the face of Black Rod every State Opening of Parliament.

It’s a clear reminder of where power ultimately resides.

Our constitution looks “lumpy” because it’s evolved and not designed. Rather like the Common Law.
No, Jira is popular because it's flexible. You can customize Jira to fit any process. That flexibility comes with a price tag, which is performance. SAP is a complete opposite, a truly inflexible “my way or highway” type of system.
yeah, they do not encourage whitelabeling but other than that, its pretty nice with the whole ecosystem of FOSS stuff they put out.
Passwords can be reused and stored on remote servers, if one is compromised, those password are now out there. Passkeys are asymmetric so the actual key is only stored in your keychain and the UX basically prevents reuse
On one hand, I totally get it. Sending the whole team offsite for a full workday of fun and games every 6 months is a little over-the-top considering the current economic environment.

On the other hand, many FAANG have been more than happy to build remote, hybrid onsite/remote, or cross-location teams during the pandemic. This has undoubtedly helped the companies access a deeper pool of talent. The negative consequence of this is that I no longer feel as tight-knit with my team. I've never met most of them before, and my only interaction with some of them have been via chat or sitting on the same calls. This is substantially decreased my overall productivity and sense of team culture.
It's markedly easier than with Python, though. Here's a short script that will recode a file with mixed iso-8859-1 and utf8 data into proper utf8:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Encode qw( decode FB_QUIET );

binmode STDIN, ':bytes';
binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';

my $out;

while ( <> ) {
$out = '';
while ( length ) {
$out .= decode( "utf-8", $_, FB_QUIET );
$out .= decode( "iso-8859-1", substr( $_, 0, 1 ), FB_QUIET ) if length;
}
print $out;
}
The probability of your whole team not being the right people is very low to begin with, and you kinda have to assume none of them would be up for the task of growing into that role, with external support. Sure.

I dunno, either all they did is actually covered by developers and ops, or they're getting rid of a lot institutional knowledge.
Let's be fair to jQuery: it has served its actual purpose well, and was a huge influence on modern browser APIs, thus making itself redundant. React and jQuery were never competitors.
Not SAP, but ERP developer here. The project I worked on included a logistics module which stock-keeping and accounting.

When you tell a warehouse worker to pick up an iPhone from row A4-143-X and it's not there, you need to figure out why. So yes, doing the accounting for that involved a "status" flag to figure out what happened. If another iPhone is later found in A5-143-X, great.

If not, at the end of the year you do the math how much stock dissappears "for unknown reasons" and you have your number on "possibly employee theft". To balance the books you can't just put an amount and "IDK what happened to it".
Rust gets large amounts of inspiration from perl so don't forget that one.
In this case, the King's doctor essentially gave him a very large speedball without the consent or knowledge of either the King or his family. The doctor decided to do this unilaterally to ensure the King's death was announced in the "right" newspaper. That's quite different from giving someone a morphine drip (usually with the family's knowledge/consent) to speed up their demise.
"Don't try" is misinterpreted to mean "don't bother" when it should be interpreted as "Do or do not, there's no try", and "If you __have__ to try, don't do it all".
IMO if it was properly exposed in C, or even as a GNU extension, then "fast math" would be part of the function type.

1. A non-fast-math function calling a fast-math function (or the other way around) should result in the floating point environment to be changed on entering the function, and reset on leaving the function.
2. A function calling an other function of the same kind shouldn't touch the floating point environment.
3. Function pointers to different kind of functions shouldn't be convertible to each other (that is `void ()() __attribute__((fast_math))` and `void ()()` are unrelated types).

As for a compiler flag altering the default "fast_math" or "no_fast_math" attribute, I'm not sure about. It's probably a bad idea. Libraries that want to make this configurable can always do their own macro.

Altering the floating point environment for everybody in a global constructor within the library is just horrible.
Is it the business processes that make a company successful, or is it the product, employees and business culture that make a company successful?

If its the former, than conforming to SAP is giving up what made you good. But if its the latter, then conforming to SAP is just making the basics more standard and easier to maintain.

Thanks, glad to hear it helps :) Good point, they should be separate settings. I'm going to add more theme adjustment settings in future updates to solve that.
Movim is great! I don't even use its microblogging features, but the chat part implements emoji message reactions* which are a very convenient way to acknowledge a message, and a way that everybody understands. It may look gadget-y and I suspect a lot of old school hackers might hate them, but I think that we should reckon that they are seen as a standard chat feature by non-techies. I used to be in the hate camp ("I don't want no 'facebook like' in my chats!") but after being forced to use MS teams at $EMPLOYER, I must admit I miss the feature in my (other than movim) XMPP clients.

React is:

- Good enough

- Easy to find developers for

- Extremely well supported with libraries for whatever you want to do

- Good enough.

I'm convinced it'll still be the top framework ten years from now. That better frameworks exist is just not relevant, the above are what matters.
I'm guessing your response was sarcastic. I don't get it, though. If you need a distributed two-phase commit DB get one like CockroachDB or something like that. SQLite is not that.
When I immigrated from India, the very first thing I noticed was that ketchup tastes very different.
Exchange rate jumps very quickly. Apple does not like to update it often. So they project the expected value for next few months. Most likely they take the rate somewhere between 20-21TL. Last year today 1$=8.47TL now 1$=18.24TL. We try to buy things when the rate goes up but price is not updated yet. You can “save” 20-30% if lucky.

Import taxes is also much higher.
Statically linked libraries can have global constructors all the same, what are you talking about?
Large scale electricity storage is just waiting for the economic conditions that would justify rolling it out. Once those conditions arise, storage will pop up like mushrooms after a hard rain, and will move down experience curves, and become cheap.

The biggest open question with grid storage is which of the many competing technologies will come out on top.
Yes it's two year warranty[0].

The president is someone who can sit above day-to-day politics, and can be very useful in a time of crisis - for example, I'm pretty sure Italian political history would be even more tumultuous without having had a president to bridge the gaps between administrations.
The average age of companies on the S&P is 18. That's just about long enough to start being killed by SAP
Apple's warranty in the EU is not any longer.

The 2-year "warranty" required by law is not the same and only covers defects existing from the time of purchase, and after 6 months the burden of proof falls to the customer. In practice I've never seen this play out because almost all manufacturers (with Apple being an exception) offer 2-3 years of full warranty here either way.

Looking at the felix.se and felix.at websites, it seems that probably Felix Austria was created in 1958 to serve the Austrian market. The Swedish website says Herbert Felix (a Czech immigrant to Sweden) started making pickles in Sweden in 1939. They use basically the same logo, and they are both owned by Orkla, so I suspect that Felix AT was a spin-off at some point to serve the Austrian market specifically.
Pretty disingenuous article. Doesn't even cover the CDC's argument for ending mandates.

The public health response has shifted to a new phase, where mandatory measures are no longer deemed justifiable given the risks:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7133e1.htm?s_cid=mm...

Beyond a passing reference at the end of the article to this widely supported change in policy, the article only covers the pro-mandate side of the argument.

My current phone isn't OLED, but on a previous one after two years or so of usage the status bar area at the top was somewhat discernible if you looked for it.
This is a contradiction in terms:

> There is an unhealthy attraction towards new paradigms and tools and an unhealthy willingness to endure paper cuts.

Web developers (who are often maligned on this site) are both too eager to move to better tools... But also, not eager enough

> So many practices simply wouldn't fly in any other community. Skepticism towards new ideas and a stubbornness to resist change are very important attributes for any community.

Yeah, and hooks had a lot of pushback at the time. The new useEffect semantics are getting pushback. These are exactly what you are asking for.

What are you wanting us webdevs to... _do_, exactly? It seems anyone can come to Reddit or the orange site and rail against UI programmers all day. But if we sit down and explain the situation nobody is very interested to listen.
People won't have to pay their taxes if all transactions are untraceable, and therefore will stop doing so.

Without taxation you can't have:

Law enforcement, schools, hospitals, fire departments, roads, road servicing, running water, public transport, welfare, electricity or sanitation.

More directly, you can't have drugs laws, child protection laws or prevent human trafficking, as there's no way to stop the money supply to the perpetrators.

I mean you can probably still get Starlink access for even more astronomical rates, but that's OK because Cryptbros love them some Elon and think all forms of government are encroaching on dem derr freedums.
Many years ago, CERN had a (very heavily used) IBM mainframe called CERNVM, so named because it ran VM/CMS.

Is CernVM’s similar naming homage or coincidence?

This isn't a cold-call, this isn't stopping somebody in the street to ask they try another washing powder, this is active engagement with customer requirements.

If you can't buy your own laptop without asking —and yes, maybe OP has worded this situation to suit their own position, we don't know— you are opening yourself to recommendations.

Leave the poor OP alone, they're just doing their job.

> No custom keybindings, no overriding mouse controls.

You can, but you have to change it in the config file. Instead of resolving this limitation, they documented it on the wiki: https://wiki.minetest.net/Controls#PC

I don't understand how things can be this mediocre for so long; other open source implementations of popular proprietary games aren't like this. OpenTTD, OpenRCT2 and OpenMW are all more feature rich and polished than the originals, so I don't think it's a fundamental limitation of volunteer projects. I think maybe, Minetest deliberately keeps the edges rough to stay off Microsoft's turf.
Not the OP, but my feeling is that you use standardised processes when they are not your core. For example, if you produce a widget using various raw materials, is the way you pay your staff delivering any competitive advantage? Or the MRP process you use to re-order engineering spares? Probably not - standardise those. Implement unique processes where they differentiate you from your competition. Standardise everything else.
You seem to be saying that if she had not reigned, that suffering would not have occurred. That seems unlikely.
That needs some nuances. There are some processes that are just well-known by research to be standardized - like supply-chain, regardless if JIT-style or forecasted stockkeeping.

SAP does not need to touch the "unique" detailed processes that makes a company great, nor it's culture. But if you e.g. manufacture a product, the design process can still be relatively unique to your company, but most often, the manufacturing processes should follow the high-level blueprint of manufacturing companies.

JVC has something which shakes the image slightly.
HB11 strikes me a nonstarter. Their proposed direct conversion mechanism is obvious nonsense, and the putative "avalanche" mechanism they want to use to make the nuclear reactions go has been savagely critiqued in the literature.

Matrix multiplication is a niche in the programming world.
Indeed, and it seems like true hubless p2p technology is the only real solution to this. It almost makes me wonder if the crackdown against p2p services that started back in the 90s was secretly motivated by a desire for bolstering blackhole monopolies.
I once consulted for a place that had one seperate ERP for each acquisition or merger they’d had in the past few decades. They all had projects in progress to decommission/merge them back down to one, but they were never able to turn a single one of them off.

Swedish VAT is 25%, but the price is ~35% higher
than the US. I think this is because the Swedish krona has lost value against the dollar over the last year, but I don’t think Apple has actually raised prices in Sweden (for the previous iPhone lineup).
What a cognitive dissonant coincidence, I was talking with a friend about doing exactly this† just a few hours ago, to drive some passive speaker he has lying around, in all sorts of interesting ways.

> It’s easy to forget all this while having iPhone sticker shock, but it’s rather brilliant on the part of the governments since everyone is pissed at Apple for overcharging, not thinking about whether VAT is a good idea.

Oh, we're pissed at the government too... here in slovenia, we still have a "temporarily" higher VAT (literally called "crisis VAT") due to the 2008 economic crisis.
By trying to make Minecraft servers a safer place you have made it worse because people are now trying to "kill" each other through the reporting system.
I believe Microsoft bought that "I will release the game source code as some kind of open source." promise as well. This is how things work, right?
No not really. That's the price here for high end smart phones, and it fit fine with purchasing power.

Paint me unconvinced. Python2 is still a thing, 14 years later.
At any company worth working for, security engineers tend to be paid more than software engineering roles, because security engineers are in higher demand. If the company is paying less for a security engineer, they're going to get folks with little to no experience.
Isn’t it like 11% if you buy in New York? Like there’s a state and a government sales tax or something?

Came here to say just this. I have a pretty undiscriminating and liberal palate and don’t really have that many dislikes when it comes to food. But Heinz ketchup is just bad. No flavor and just boring.
My favourite bit of the SAP UI is whenever you scroll a listbox, it goes back to the server to load the rest of the list. It only has data for the exact 5 items it's showing; the other 1 above or 3 below each need a server hit. And it forgets the data it loaded before.
Magnus played sloppily and now is abusing his status as "the best player in the world."
I think ERPs are a basket case category generally. I've worked with SAP for a few years (or more accurately work hard to keep it out of scope for what I do) in my day job. I've also worked for a company providing ERP stuff for SMEs (mostly S).

Anyway SAP/ERPs aren't code for running your business. They're code for running code to run your business. Now you have all the shortcuts SAP made to get stuff out the door, and on top of that you've got all the layers of shortcuts your business has made to get things out the door too. Therefore lots of nasty difficult complexity.

And finally I've seen evidence that in SAP people treat it like the fundamental abstraction layer is the spreadsheet[1]. So like in unix everything is a file, in SAP everything is a spreadsheet. This is a nasty complicated fundamental abstraction without the natural elegance of Unix's one.

[1] Maybe it really is, maybe it isn't but that's how a large chunk of the ABAP code I've seen treats it.
Actually some still are on perlmonks :)
This is my experience as well. I have a side project in its prototyping state and tried to use typescript in it. The result was exactly what I was afraid of - the first half of a weekend spent on fine-tuning tsconfig and tsserver integration, the second half on type acrobatics and investigating wrong narrowing issues. No code was written that day. I have a decent experience with both typed and untyped languages to see pros and cons of typing and am consciously choosing untyped for the “development” phase.

Sid Meier's Civilization is considered one of the most influential computer games in history, in addition to being a critical and commercial success, and a pedagogical boon to humanity.
