Too bad they didn't make it to episode 2. I feel like "they're not just THE emergency services, they're YOUR emergency services" is one of the most British things I can imagine. (I say that as an American, though, so I don't really know what I'm talking about.)

The IT Crowd always impressed me with their set design. I was working as "IT" at the time, and our office was nearly identical to the one in Season 1. We had O'Reilly stickers everywhere. There were an infinite number of desk toys all over the place. We spent 99% of our day screwing around. It just felt so authentic to me at the time, and still does to this day. (Some of that screwing around was legit office stuff, though. Our air conditioner's drainage pipe was blocked, so we rigged up a fish tank pump to pump the water out of it into a giant bucket. We'd then dump that in one of the many floor drains that our office had, because of course our building's hallway had floor drains every 3 feet. The other 1% of the day was screwing around under the guise of helping people. We were the computer support team for the Physics department at the University of Chicago. People who had recently won the Nobel prize would come to us with things like "my hard drive died", and we would just put it in a plastic bag, immerse it in liquid nitrogen, and copy off their files. Worked every single time. Did we ever try copying the files before freezing the thing? Absolutely not. We weren't the scientists, we were a bunch of random idiots trying to help, and we had an unlimited supply of liquid nitrogen in the building.)
This. Every time this happens I'm having a sudden desire to throw my computer out of the window.
I pick 2160p on YouTube even on a 1080p screen to reduce the awful blur in videos with any kind of motion. The downscale looks similar to a higher bitrate in that case.
I'll piggy bag this, and say "especially for the Scandinavian ISO keyboard" part.
This isn't actually true, even for tiny customers. In a personal project, I used a single host of a single instance type several times per day and had to code up a fallback.
It is fine. I have been using an "old" canon EOS 1000 for a few years now. But I use an HDMI capture card with magic lantern running on the camera to get a clean HDMI feed.
If you think zoom "just works" I'm guessing you haven't seen the quagmire of poor decisions masquerading as code that is zoom on the Linux desktop.

Still better than teams though. (With the caveat that it's only useable on Chrome).
I'll close with one final note. Try to imagine this was otherwise identical setup, and even an identical speech. The only thing we'll change is that instead of the speaker invoking 1 day of riots in an effort to demonize his political opponents, it was instead a Republican speaker invoking the years of riots prior with the same motivation.

If you genuinely believe what you're saying here, then you would hold those exact same opinions in such a scenario.

I think the eschaton would be pretty hard to miss, what with the rapture and the final battle at Armageddon and the horsemen and whatnot.

The CIA’s entire bailiwick is covert operations. A government agency that’s been specially trained to engage in illegal covert operations involving lethal force without getting caught isn’t going to leave too much evidence, which means a lack of evidence doesn’t really tell you anything either way.

That having been said, the CIA was involved in the Obama-era drone strike program that ended up killing four US citizens (only one of whom was deliberately targeted). Frank Olson also died in suspicious circumstances connected to MKULTRA in 1953.
The pain is that this approach is suitable on VPS/IaaS where disk volume is supported. As a solo dev, I only use PaaS kind of infra, there are just a few PaaS i'm aware of that support attachable disk. Fly, Render, .. nothing else?
I've never had the application crash, not even once. The only problem I've had with it being slow is when it opens Office apps inside of it. It's been flawless otherwise, leaps and bounds ahead of Zoom and Slack.

Uh, sorry for possibly seeming dense, but did you mean to write "cobain" there? What does that mean, in this context?

All I can find searching the word is of course about Kurt Cobain ... wondering if you somehow abstracted "all living beings" to "a bit like Kurt Cobain", or something, which would be quite an impressive jump and one I haven't seen before.

Or it's a typo I can't figure out, of course.
I have a different experience. 5-10 calls/day on Windows or iPhone. Seamless transition if I want to switch the conversation to another device. Use multiple webcams and headsets. Screen-share a lot. Both Teams App and browser version. Never had any problems with it.

I really like Teams and what it brings to my team. But reading the comments here I'm the minority.

When price increases exceed the increases in costs/raw-goods... then it's "greedflation", not "price gouging". Increasing profit margins are also a good signal of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if 4k correlates with youtube-dl. That would mean the people not seeing any ads consume the most bandwidth.
Mainly the barrage of "instance hardware degradation" emails that i get whereas on gcp those are just migrated (sometimes with a reboot/crash). Also there is no brownout. I've never used t2/3s which apparently do support migration which would make sense.
This sounds terrible. I don't know about the jerky but their burgers remind me of old school cafeteria soy bean burgers. And not in a good way.

First time I had bacon bits I was grossed out, but thought they were a good idea.

Tried real bacon dried and crumbled on a salad and man was it good.

Still prefer my salads green, though.
The EU market will suffer this. Not apple. EU people will have to pay more for the apps. Apple will still make same many, just as before.
If you say: "yeah, but now less people is going to buy"
I say: I do not think so, the increment is small enough, that if you need or want the app or game, you still pay it.
The theory behind this is, that the EU will give back that money for the EU people, invested in Internet infrastructure or whatever... The problem is that in the middle that money will have to pay for TONS of bureaucrats...
Why do you need magic lantern for that? HDMI capture card would presumably work with stock firmware?

I’ve also tried using my old 600d but with the canon provided software and it works pretty okay.
GCP control plane is generally not idempotent.

When trying to create the same resource twice, all request should report the same status instead one failing, one succeeding.

In AWS, their APIs allow you to supply a client token if the API is not idempotent by default.

… exposed to light.

It's still enclosed in a dust-free environment. I'd say unless you shine laser beams directly at the sensor, or point it directly at the sun all day it'll be fine for many years.

Also, some (or most / all?) cameras will close the shutter curtain when disabled. Presumably you would enable the camera only when you need it.
Taiwan is the Republic of China government that flee the mainland after they lost to the Chinese Communist Party during the civil war, so of course the CCP want to eradicate them once and for all.

"Refugee" is a broad category. I know a number of Russians who left their country and live very well in Western cities, with well-paying IT jobs. Some of them regularly write about the subtler aspects of newly announced Apple hardware. People like you and me.

So — tone deaf, perhaps, but only if you have a stereotypical image of a "refugee" in your mind.

the perennial trade off between privacy vs security.

On the abstract, we might want to oppose this as yet another example of the expansion of the state but on the practical day-to-day level, we might appreciate the moderating effect on behaviour which surveillance provides when we just want to go about our business on public transport
Sure, but only if the text file looks like a C string literal, i.e. starts and ends with double quotes (which would make it into a weird text file).

Doing

const char *s = "
#inclued "test.txt"
";

won't work, since the preprocessor won't interpret directives inside string literals of course.

In many assemblers, there is a directive called "incbin" which pastes in unstructured binary data at the point of usage. I just found a very clever C and C++ wrapper [1] for that, which gives you an INCBIN() macro. Nice!

I agree. We spending ridcolous amount of money and fuel to colonizing Mars/space but at same time we are not able to feed millions starving children on our planet.

Instead of panicking we should change our politics, that seems to me, is pathological in many ways. Our planet have enough space and energy sources. For example in Russia there is a lot of inhabited places with great weather conditions to live, but it is politics who makes those places terrible to live in.

Nuclear energy is incredible source of energy and waste could be shoot out into space?

Alarmism that predict inevitable collapse of our planet and blaming individuals as a source of those problems is hypocrisy. Individual will never damage environment as corporates driven by lobby and politics.
I'm reminded of this quote, written in support of more and stronger use of systems for formal verification, like powerful type systems:

It's supposed to be especially dangerous because it doesn't look like a whitewater creek. There's a part where the river becomes narrow enough to jump across and the water appears calm but is extremely deep and fast moving. It's a popular beauty spot and the river can be mistaken for a shalllow stream.

The article is indeed of very low quality, though, and claims of it being "the most dangerous stretch of water in the world" are hyperbole at best.
One doesn't need to believe in the free market in order for it to work, and it doesn't need to be a perfect free market to work. The more free market it is, the better it works.

It's not religion, it's borne out by history. Countries that move towards free markets grow more prosperous, those that move away, less. The ones that do the worst are full on communism.

> despite repeatedly clashing with ground state reality

I've replied to all those claims of it clashing with reality. Most of them are based on the notion that free markets do not proscribe the use of fraud and force against others. The rest are often claims that free markets tend directly to monopolies, although the proponents are never able to identify any free market monopolies.

Want a cite? Here's one. The US, in its first century, excluding the slave south. Was it an ideal free market? Nope. It's hard to argue with its resounding success. Compare it to the South American countries, which had no such success.

Want another? The German Miracle, 1946 or so to 1970. Japan, post war to around 1990. Hong Kong in the 1960s turned to free markets, look at the results - GDP grew 18,000% from 1961-1987 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Hong_Kong

If free markets are a religion, they certainly are a religion that delivers results whether or not the participants believe in it.

> especially when it is claimed to somehow harness for good and neutralize humanity's near infinite capacity for greed and evil.

It harnesses the selfishness in all of us. As for "somehow", the how is straightforward. To make money (a selfish motive) one has to provide a good or service that others find worth their money. If one tries to make money by stealing, cheating, defrauding, enslaving, extortion, blackmail, or murdering, one goes to jail.

Geez, ID document numbers is such a big thing. Now hackers can basically call most institution and impersonate victims. this is quite huge
What is the “new” version’s tech stack? I always thought that with the Office and Windows team slowly adopting React Native for some features that they would redo Teams with that. Realistically they could start out with a React Native shell and just use web views for most functionality at first to replace Electron (and eventually, hopefully, rewrite some core functionality in RN and/or actually native bits).
Well over 70% of the population supports the invasion.

And the time to protest was over the last 20 years. It wasn't always impossible, it just became gradually more difficult over the years. But few people cared, because it was more convenient to live in a Powerful Empire.

Wi-Fi-enabled SD cards that automatically inspect the filesystem and upload your photos to the internet or a computer already exist, it shouldn't be impossible to modify the firmware to upload MP4 files in a streaming fashion, assuming they have the bandwidth.
Do you have an example what might go wrong? I cannot imagine how can one mess up desktop Linux system without root privileges. Totally fill up the storage maybe?
It doesn't even have to be slowing growth: it can just be slower relative to interest rates
Yes! I just started at a company all-in on Microsoft where my previous place used Slack

On Slack, we were encouraged to keep communication out in the open, it was far easier to jump into discussions

Everyone is in a silo on Teams. Every time something needs to be discussed a new group chat is created, and the public channels see little use due to the "formality" of posting to them

It's also just a terrible piece of software. It doesn't handle media in any common formats (heif images, and most video is not transcoded). It tells you that you have already posted a piece of media just because the file name matches (likely, as I just paste everything from my clipboard). You can't draw on someone's screen during a call. Trying to type code into the message window is annoying and broken. Typing with any form of indentation is immediately lost. The custom notifications (why not use macOS notifications!?) are gross

I asked my business why we use it. I was told it was free for them. I told them it's probably costing us a lot more in lost collaboration and downtime due to technical issues.
> I suggest you use the word “published” instead of “public”, since that will make your category problem disappear.

"publicly published" or "published and made freely available on the internet" perhaps since all sorts of data gets published privately with access tightly controlled where as having something exposed to the entire global internet is about as public as anything ever can be.

> If I surreptitiously take private photos of you, and then I publish them on the internet against your wishes, that does not suddenly make the photos any less private.

I still couldn't say those were 'my private photos', the photos themselves would be very public (and they'd be yours), although you could say that the subject would be private I suppose... If you broke into my house and set up the cameras I could say you photographed by private moments. So, yeah I guess that'd be considered publicly published/exhibited photos of private moments.

> I suspect you think logically, and you would like the words private and public to be disjoint sets, however in practice those words have overlapping meanings depending on semantics.

It gets even more semantically complicated if you broke into my house, found my photo album, stole my private photos, and uploaded scans of them to the internet. At that point I'd probably want to say you "stole my private photos" which could be true, although it might be more accurate to say "You stole what were my private photos and made them public"

That's the problem with the article. It makes it sound like the photos were private until they were added to the AI's training data.

A sentence like: "...it bothers her that private medical images have been baked into a product without any form of consent or recourse to remove them." might then be better stated as "...it bothers her that publicly published images that originated from private medical files have been baked into a product without any form of consent or recourse to remove them."

The distinction that the photos themselves were public matters since that explains how they ended up in the data set. I think everyone would agree that no one should use your private photos without your consent. Just gaining access to them would require something extraordinary making that easy to avoid.

I think fewer people would suggest that a web scraper/crawler should have to somehow discover the full backstory of every publicly available photo it finds online to determine if a photo depicts something someone might consider private. It's admittedly a flawed assumption that a photo published to the internet where anyone can access and download it is fair game, but I'm not sure what would work better. Pretty much every search engine works under that same assumption.
More like "F150 V8 5L" and "F150 V8 3L". Both are trucks, but the 3L is a V6.
I mean, it's kinda nice to know that if you reissue a request for an instance that could costs thousands of dollars per month due to a network glitch that you won't accidentally create two of them?

More practically, though, the instance name here is literally the name of the instance as it appears in the RESTful URL used for future queries about it. The 409 here is rejecting an attempt to create the same explicitly named resource twice.

The thing is, sometimes the company can get away with transferring the cost of taxes 1:1 to the consumer. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
In the case of apps, the increment in price will be small (the prices are normally low anyway) so transferring the tax to the buyer is trivial.
SD card writes are buffered, this will presumably have too high latency for streaming.
protectionism of this sort is basically how all the East Asian tigers developed from being as impoverished as Africa in 1950's to where they all are now. It's a problem now because the unbroken period of 400 years + pf Western hegemony might finally be under challenge by a country who is big enough not routinely bend the knee
Would law of physics kick in ? If it takes thousands of years to produce oil/gas/coal, and months to extract and consume it... then what political solution do have ?
My concern is that we might hit an energy crisis (Russia/Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg). We need oil/gas/coal for everything around us (clothes, transportation, heat, cement, iron, energy).
For energy we could use nuclear for baseline, and some renewable.
For iron, we could use hydrogen instead of coal (see above for energy)
For cement, we could electricity (see above for energy)
For heat we could use electricity (and better insulation) (see above for energy)
For transportation we could use electricity for ground transportation (trains, trucks, cars, light mobility) and keep the planes on oil, hydrogen, etc.
For clothes... well we could use the rest of oil left.

Our needs in energy are growing, and the reserve or oil/gas/coal is finite and even if there are still a lot available, it might be a long tail and so too expensive to extract. We might need to plan for a shortage (or too expensive) oil/gas/coal. Renewable is nice, but the amount of energy needed to replace oil/gas/coal is just massive, we cannot produce and install renewable fast enough. We need hundreds more nuclear reactors, just for US alone. This is likely a national security question. In that sense it is a political question based on physic emergency.
Although it is funny it is mostly cringey and, if you have ever worked in an office in the UK (in Slough of all places) it brings back some of the bleakness and dullness of the average office in the UK.

Having said that, if you know the context, that is, if you have watched the series, the looks and expressions of the actors are priceless, relatable and advance the story in what could have been a just slapstick moment.

I never know if I love or hate the Office UK as some scenes bring me to tears and others I just can't watch to the end. It is a masterfull piece of TV. I have only watched a few scenes of the US version on YouTube and I find them funny. It is a very different beast.
isnt that like half the population??
It usually goes without saying, but it's up to each man to exert his own will toward a spiritual value higher than that of mere vermin. Here we find one who lacks the strength to do even this.
"Payment detail and account passwords have not been compromised."

No, just your identity is. If you're Australian, you or someone you know will be in this. What a total fuck up.
Good news. A good chunk of the world already uses crypto for identification. My eID card is just that, i can auth with a chip and pin. This is normal in a lot of the EU.
My brother-in-law drowned in the Māwhera/Grey River on the West Coast of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The geology of the river that got my BIL is very similar to the Strid - swift deep waters cutting through a limestone bed, creating shelves that currents and buoyancy can trap you under, eroding through to natural caves, or in the case of the Māwhera, eroding into the old coal mining tunnels that burrowed beneath the riverbed in the 1800s.

End result is a highly treacherous waterway. The Police Dive Squad refused to search for my BIL's body due to the shelves and tunnels, and the current.

So, yeah, this is more dangerous than your whitewater creeks, mainly because it doesn't look dangerous, but also because of the additional hydrological dangers that a sweet whitewater run doesn't have.

A peeve: Last week I got invited to an online meeting. I am using Firefox on Arch Linux on a Framework laptop. One hour before I opened the invitation link and was just told to wait till the meeting starts. OK. But when the time was up, Teams suddenly told me to install something in a hurry.

I fished out my wife's Chromebook instead but we missed two minutes of the meeting.

That's clearly a failure: I didn't get a chance to check my setup before the meeting started.
