Well not anything. Clearly race is used to some extent in how they determine layoffs, which by itself should be illegal. Exactly which formulas they use doesn't really matter since anti-racist by definition means the layoffs are done through a racial lens.
Seriously, one of the best things about the AMD Linux drivers is that you have direct access to the developers including a public bug tracker [0] and IRC [1]. Maybe not the kind of customer support people are used to but I honestly prefer this.

“Design Patterns” showed to me that there is a way to build software in a systematic way.

In the US, unions have been outcompeted from almost all the private sector.

They mostly remain in public sector monopolies, where they in some ways are stronger than politicians and management.

I don't know of anywhere in Europe that's similar. It has little to do with "militancy" levels.
Are you aware of Trussed, an initiative by SoloKeys and Nitrokey? https://solokeys.com/blogs/news/trussed-announcement / https://trussed.dev/

From what I understand, this is an API to write applications against a common interface, which can run on different hardware devices. An abstraction layer for security key apps. Similar to Java Card, but in a more modern way. Is this something that would or could be compatible with Tillitis?

A humanities degree can be a great pre-law option for those who want to pursue a legal career. But students need to be realistic about their career prospects. Attorney compensation has a bimodal distribution. The students who graduate from top-10 law schools with good grades and internship experience stand to do very well financially (although the partner track can be brutal on associates). But students who end up at the "third-tier toilet" law schools are setting themselves up for a lifetime of poverty including a serious risk of student loan default.

Most Spring deployments I have seen in the wild aren't using Spring Boot as such, rather Spring MVC, and yes they do depend on them on most enterprise shops.

But what do I know, I only took part in the Nokia NetAct from CORBA Perl/C++ into Java EE migration, have done my share of Java projects since then, and nowadays all our projects tend to have a mix of Java and .NET, so guess I hardly see any Java code. /s

Ross Anderson's Security Engineering.

More than any other title on my bookshelf, it has affected the way I think about any product design process.

Things WILL go wrong, sometimes in ways you did not expect. Hence, you had better plan for systems to fail gracefully rather than by going kaboom.

(I design handling systems in the low megawatt range - so design failures tend to make themselves painfully and spectacularly evident if given half a chance.)

Edit: Oh, and Horowitz & Hill's 'The Art of Electronics.' I've a MSc in electronics, but AoE was the book which bridged the gap between all the theory we were fed in lectures and the nitty-gritty of actually making something which would work.

If nothing else, AoE drove home the validity of the old truism 'In theory there's no difference between theory and practice, in practice there is.'

Bold of you to assume I haven’t read and understood the contents of my contract which implicitly does not disallow this.

Realistically I build spikes and prototypes on my own hardware and only push to the environment never pull. Production code, credentials and data never goes near personal equipment.
I can see that difference between these statements can be minimal for collectivists, who consider benefit of society as the most important value. But for individualists, the former does not implies the latter. It is more like:

All X are good for nothing leaches on society, but their individual rights and freedom are inalienable and that is more important that their negative effect on society.

> Don't go to college before you have a sense of what you are interested in learning.

I live in a country where college is paid by the taxpers, and college students get a bunch of advantages (student work, food coupons, cheap stuff, access to student resources, gyms etc.).

We have a bunch of students who have to decide on what to study at age 18, and a bunch of them are just "i'm bad at math, what doesn't have a lot of math?" and totally disregard other factors (mostly, employment opportunities), so after ~5 years, they get their masters in ancient greek and philosphy and then complain that there are no jobs for "educated young people".

On one hand, they knew that there were no jobs in that field when they filled out the application forms, on the other hand, the taxpayers paid for 5 years of a useless college, then they learned something that has zero added value in their eventual workplace, and then they still complain.

TLDR: "interested in learning" sure, but with consideration of "are there jobs in that field?"
Only as a data point, in Italy the minimal size a house can legally be called a house is 28 sqm, intended for a single, then you add 10 sqm for each additional adult (this is national law, since 1975).

Local laws may increase these mimimum sizes, the tendency is to set the minimum to around 40-45 sqm in many places.
The US has overall amazing projection generally, be it propaganda, military, culture, etc. I find it funny, looking back a couple years ago, that people were outright dismissing American hegemony but it looks alive and well today imo.
When my kids were young, I accidentally flubbed the pronunciation of "Santa Claus" once and said something that sounded a lot like "Centiclops", which I decided to roll with. Centiclops is a lot like a cyclops with one eye, except the as a reading of the roots clearly indicates, this is a creature with 100 eyes.

Today I learn that Centiclops effectively has a Unicode character. As Centiclops' representative in the world of the non-imaginary, we accept that a Unicode character with a hundred eyes is not practical and we accept the representation with just a few eyes, but generally agree that upgrading to 7 to 10 is a nice improvement, as 7 does not evenly divide into 100 but 10 does. This is important, because... reasons.
Thanks for the response and your transparency, it looks like you folks really believe in your mission.

The most revolutionary thing you are doing in my opinion is "registration" and email free account management and accept various forms of payment. You are way ahead of your time! Other apps and sites outside of VPN services could do so well to follow your example.

1. Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss

From someone who hated negotiation books and didn't want to "win" negotiations, this was a true life changer. Listen with empathy. Find the thing your counterpart really wants. Put them in your shoes by asking how you can do [x thing they're asking]. Fundamental things that have improved my relationships with many people in my life.

2. Radical Candor by Kim Scott

This book helped me understand how to care for someone while still challenging them and asking for their best work. I truly believe that people are happier and more fulfilled when they feel challenged by their work and empowered to rise to that challenge.

3. Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller

Selling anything is about understanding that the buyer is the hero of their own story, and your job is to sell them the tool helps them succeed. The buyer is Luke, you're Obi Wan, and you're selling them the Lightsaber. This has been endlessly applicable working with entrepreneurs.

4. The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber

A seminal text on why small businesses often fail and how they can create systems that work and create ongoing success.

5. Non-violent communication by Marshall Rosenberg

This one literally changed who I am as a person and how I show up for others. Realizing how much judgement is embedded in our language, how often we express that judgement to other people, and how that makes them feel was eye-opening. I strive to both feel and express radical non-judgement, and to listen to and communicate with people in a way that allows them to feel heard and safe.

I have strong, loving relationships with some people in my life that I never would have expected 10 years ago, in part because this book helped me grow.
People think they can easily identify bad faith, since they hear arguments that sound incomprehensible and assume no one could hold them in good faith. It is common to believe that large swaths of the population carry their convictions in bad faith.

As a life long atheist I have suffered from this misconception. The idea of a god seems so absurd to me that I honestly don't understand how people can have faith in one. Never the less it is true, they do, and in good faith. I've had enough deep conversations with believers to establish that. And it's true no matter how many instances of their hypocrisy you collect.

The same is true of political opponents.
It also introduces even more weakness to certain types of influence. The NYTimes has some defense against people not liking an article because while people can cancel a subscription it’s not directly tied to the editor-author/journalist.

But substack is directly tied - so unless people really trust the author and refuse to cancel if they write something they don’t like you’ll be more inclined to avoid going outside the margins.
> Considering the audience of twitter, which is the elite of society

You and I have very different experiences of Twitter
I can only recommend doing your own research, cross language barrier, examine the situation from as many points as possible, we have all the tools to do this. I do not feel comfortable here anymore to discuss this because of downvotes.
The Chrome "Twitter Block Chain" extension does this, with the bonus of not blocking users you're following: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitter-block-chai...
I don’t understand any of it. Mostly it’s selfish CYA mentality rather than the business responsibility of being a service provider, and you know, actually providing service.
For at least the last year I’ve ran my entire dev environment out of a Linux VM I ssh into (locally).

The primary factors are:

1. I, overall, like macOS and the Apple ecosystem. I heavily use Notes, my calendar, several apps I like to sync from my iPad and phone, etc. I'm pretty bought-in, and macOS helps me manage the non-developer stuff a lot easier, in my opinion.

2. Enough things have broken, over time, from macOS updates that my developer experience is subpar compared to a Linux OS.

3. A Linux VM gives me 100% reproducibility, so little delay that I would argue to say there is no delay, and I can reliably use the rest of my MacBook for all the other apps I care about.

It’s worked great, and I’ve never felt like it’s complicated.

Edit: Some people might mention Docker. I've run into just-enough networking issues with Docker that the full VM was worth running.
We have community college. It’s just a different set of tradeoffs. Having attended both, I found EU schools aren’t directly comparable to US schools.

> OneDrive?

If you pay attention closely, you'll notice that sometime in the last year, the Windows 11 installation slide for onedrive went from "hey do you want onedrive, yes or no?" to "hey here's onedrive, we've enabled it for you" (with no option now for opting out of one-drive).

It's still possible to disable one-drive once you boot up for the first time, but the steps are kinda hidden and convoluted:

1. open onedrive settings, go to the "backup" tab, then "manage backups" and uncheck all the folders

2. go to another tab to the left (whose name escapes me, but was something like "sharing" or "syncing") then go to "select which folders are shared" or something like that, then uncheck all the folders. You can even uncheck the "personal vault" folder if you expand it and uncheck its contents (consisting of a single subitem) first.

3. go to the first tab and unselect "start onedrive at startup"

4. Right click onedrive's menu and click "quit onedrive".

These steps are now necessary, when in the past you were able to opt-out of onedrive with one click during installation.

Me. Here I was hoping to learn more about why I can't reproduce those sweet, sweet high notes.
It seems to me that this is likely not legally required in this case as they could claim that the release of the old contract was part of the new contract and if you cancel that you are still responsible for the old one. However I'm not surprised that they haven't bothered to implement this in code.

If we go there, I understand FreeMiNT is the way to go.

But I have not played with anything beyond emuTOS for now. I think there's still a lot of good work to do there, particularly making it work, and work well, on more m68k hardware than the Atari platform.
I attended a Unicode meeting (or maybe two? not sure?) and came away with the impression that Unicode is like those open source projects that are used by half of the world and maintained by a handful of skilled and benevolent people.

In Unicode's case I think most of them are paid, at least.
Why do you need that for substack?
Very very true, and yet I've often seen an excel workbook find its way as a permanent part of the process, even a fully automated one in some cases. Fortunately there are decent libraries for reading/creating workbooks in most languages.
I agree with you about both magic and reactivity (meaning, IIUC, asynchronous rather than blocking APIs). Helidon Nima looks interesting.

But what I'd really like in Java is a non-magic, non-reactive server-side web framework that's designed to be used for full-stack, server-side web applications, including things like strongly-typed HTML templates, form validation and rendering, cookie-based authentication, and CSRF protection. Something we can use to develop a complete server-side web application, the kind that everyone used to write before the division into back-end API and front-end SPA became popular. Helidon Nima might be a good starting point for such a framework. Another starting point worth looking at is Javalin [1].

> So, is capitalism the same as a market economy?

Not exactly, but that is a necessary condition. I think another necessary condition is that prices are set by the market and that the state isn't deeply involved in trade. Obviously there are grey areas, but it seems pretty clear that the export focused state trade policies of mercantilism were not capitalism.
I know a number of teachers. All of them want to do the best job possible. Unfortunately, a good number of them are in systems that don't support them as well as they should. That said, I'd take it a step further and say the (USA) culture doesn't do enough to support the systems and the teachers.

What goes in, trickles down, and comes out the other end. With the power structure, teachers have some, but others have far more. That's where the accountability (read: blame) needs to go. Blaming the powerless is a fool's errand.

That is, for example, we can sign off billions to foreign countries, and at home our teachers are going out of pocket for supplies. Huh? I'm not suggesting that we don't help others. I am insisting that if we can do that, we can certainly do better for teachers, and other similar high-value (to the future) professions.
To anyone considering reading the article, there isn't much more substance than a guy stumbling upon a book that is listed on Amazon for an absurd price.
Yes, exactly. My explanation -- it's a supply problem -- is indeed straightforward and obvious (and therefore there's no need to be in search of grand theories about Income and Wealth Concentration). If you see people lining up around the block for something and your priors lead you to conclude that there is no supply problem, then your priors are wrong, almost by definition.
So I was wondering how the hell they can be that cheap. A bit of research turns up loads of threads like <0> all saying that they oversell capacity and performance will randomly tank whenever they are busy. On the side, loads of complaints about their customer service.

Maybe it would be ok for absolutely non perf critical task. But for a chat app you're probably gonna get loads of problems if it starts to run slow with missed notifications and so on.

Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Leak Is Real, Blames 'Network Intrusion'

There was Dutch PhD research done not so long ago.

With an Arabic name you have less chance of a job

Employers still discriminate on a large scale, according to the dissertation of the Utrecht sociologist Lieselotte Blommaert. She put more than six hundred resumes online on websites where employers look for personnel, half were posted by fictitious natives, the other half by fictitious immigrant applicants.

Highly educated people discriminate less

The CV of Joris or Jan appears to be requested by employers fifty percent more often than the CV of Aicha or Amir. Once the resumes have been viewed, native applicants appear to have a 60% higher chance of being invited for an interview. “It doesn't matter what kind of education people have,” says Blommaert. “It happens to immigrants regardless of their gender, education level or age.”
Discrimination is not always malicious, emphasizes Blommaert. “The research shows that unconscious processes also have an influence. When a lot of application letters come in, people still select intuitively.” For example, employers who have more positive contact with immigrants discriminate less, as do women. Also striking: people with a higher education are less inclined to discriminate.

> Twitter is one of the worst places I've ever visited. In general makes me feel bad after just reading 1 to 3 tweets.

The Twitter experience depends mostly on who you follow and how.

GCN took a bit to stabilize but my RX 6900 XT worked fine on launch (well, about a week after launch when I managed to get one) with the newest drivers - if you are on a slow distro then you might lag behind what is available upstream though.
No no no no.

I mean yes, of course, put CarPlay/Android Auto into the Porsches. But the rest of it - no way. EVs have already passed the ICE in terms of performance and speed.

Cars like the 911, Mustang, Miata, etc need to be about the driving experience, the sound, the feel. They need to return to their roots. Ford was right to keep the manual transmission + V8 in the next-gen Mustang, but it's way too tech'ed out. Fail. The current-gen Mustang is going to end up being the collector's item in 15 years when everyone is daily-driving an EV.

Likewise, Porsche needs to return the 911 to a naturally-aspirated H6 with a manual transmission, and a small touchscreen for CarPlay. Even better if it folds or slides out of the way for the 99% of the time you aren't using it. Because when you are driving a 911 a decade from now, you aren't going to be using it. If you need it, you're driving your Taycan or whatever other EV you have.

Anyone who has been on the internet for awhile quickly realizes that the “all the posters I don’t like are paid shills” argument doesn’t hold up well at all. It’s often a cope - “my side/the good side would obviously be winning if it weren’t for these paid shills”.

There are way too many true believers who are terminally online and you can find almost anything out there.
I often see two variations:

1. You get your typical 996. Everyone works long hours. They are visibly suffering. They are well compensated for their suffering. Often there's a third party - stockholders, clients that are witness to this and believe that they're doing their best work.

2. As they say, eliminate distractions. That's often things like games, travel, and other personal ambitions. Some choose to keep the personal ambitions and pleasures and eliminate family, friends, and health. Burnout is common and as such, working more than 40 hours/week is discouraged, but you end up too exhausted to be dealing with all but a few things.

Either way, work life balance is expected to be quite low.
