>At the end of the day, Windows is the only desktop OS that enables me to use my computer to do the shit I need or want to do.

I feel like this is the kind of dystopian thing everyone just accepted that it's normal.

And by that I mean, I expected competition, options, etc. Instead I'm still forced to use Windows for my gaming, GPU's for Linux desktop is still hit or miss, and Apple decided to break up with Intel so on top of everything else I get to "enjoy" package incompatibilities for my work.

And now I have to pretend that I'm enjoying that Microsoft keeps deciding to grab "a little bit more" every now and then because I really don't have any other options, besides the "stop playing video games that aren't a pain to setup or even work on Linux".
I think the technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch makes for more interesting games in general. Most of the games on my Xbox and PC tend to be FPS/Action games with very boring, brown and green "realistic" environments whereas games on my Switch tend to be bright and colorful with lots of 2D and pixel graphics and games in the vein of simulators, adventures, roguelikes etc.
being around people takes effort. It is easy to get used to that lack of effort and mistake it for "loving to be alone".

For the last two years I worked from my bed and would mostly be in bed all day. I train brazilian jiu jitsu so do leave the house for that. Im also married with 3 kids so I leave the house when they make me. It is easy to not expend energy and just stay home, laying in bed all day. During covid I could easily not leave the house for a week. For me that was living my best life.

About 2 weeks ago I started working sitting at my home office desk. It was actually hard at first, but over the course of a week I got used to sitting up again. Going out to develop relationships is the same way. It might be exhausting at first, but it gets easier the more you do it.

The easiest way to not be alone is to start a hobby that is with other people. I have never participated in one where people didnt start hanging out together. It will be at your pace and you can show up or not show up whenever you want.

I personally do sports, but it could be volunteer work, board games, coding clubs, etc.
Soon we will have colonies on other planets and there will be an option 3.

Police that refuse to do their job because the DA's office is politically indoctrinated are not helping anything. It's almost immature. Police have unions and associations, political connections (even today), connections with the press (even today), so we're not talking about some powerless sector of society.

The mature response is for SF police to do its job (because if we do the math, it is also wasting the time of criminals), and have its organizational arms make a stink about it in the public space. Publish statistics and weekly 'wtf DA?' blog posts. I mean it's the 21st century.
Great. Personally I think CP2077 is the bee's knees, its about the only game that made me genuinely emotional when the end credits scrolled on. Sucks that your experience sucked.

No wonder I keep reading about sand shortages.
It appears from their repo that they have 5-6 people working full time on this. Assuming about 250k per developer that puts their burn at 6 * 250k = 1.5 million a year. So yeah they have some time. Although I would be severely concerned at their progress considering it’s already been a year and they don’t seem to have shipped much. No proof of PMF or any sort of revenue with over a third of their runway depleted should have them hustling to get on the boards.
That’s true, police will still beat up innocent people even when they won’t arrest the clearly guilty to protest prosecutors not charging the exact way police would prefer.
Maybe it's just the contrarian streak in me, but Firefox being on Gecko is why I haven't left. There must be more than just one browser engine to rule them all! We got rid of our trident just to get blinkered.

Firefox moving to Blink means I'm just hopping over to whoever has the slickest Chromium clone right now.
This seems to be comparing apples to oranges. With WFH vs RTO, they are separate positions that have valid disagreements. That is to say, as much as one employee likes WFH a different employee may not. I haven't seen actual employees complain about a 4-day work week nearly the same I've seen some complain about not having an office to escape to or socialize in.
With the presented ethos, it seems demonstrably [1] appropriate.

I'm a developer.
I use Windows to program in Java, Delphi with SQLServer or SQLite. Git works great on Windows.

I use WSL for Ruby, Python, Go with Postgres/Mysql. I don't dual boot Linux because 100% of the time linux automatically destroys the installation. The last time this happened was because I tried a Bluetooth joystick in Kubuntu. Kubuntu freezes and won't boot again.
Because this last experience, I will never use Linux again in the metal again.

To develop Games, Windows.

I've never used SqlServer on Linux, and when I tried to use Postgres on Windows, Postgres start using using 100% of processor, it was a total mess.

Resume: My development experience is compartemized, If is possible to use Windows, Ok, if not, I use Linux(WSL or emulated).

I have already programmed on Mac OS, using XCode. XCode is an aberration. One of worst software development experience in my life.

Ruby or Python development experience(in terminal with vim and a package manager like HomeBrew) is good on Mac OS, after installing a good terminal.

>Civil liberties groups such as the EFF and ACLU were strongly critical of the new measure, which they argue will increase the surveillance of already marginalized groups within the city.

Why can't this measure just be opposed because it is oppressive and authoritarian? Why the need to emphasize "marginalized groups"? It very much reminds me of the "stop and frisk" debate that happened years ago here in New York. "Stop and frisk" was clearly an unconstitutional practice that violated 4th Amendment protections against search and seizure. Instead of opposing it on those clear grounds, "civil liberties" groups and courts focused only on the racial aspect. It was ultimately stopped not because it was unconstitutional, authoritarian overreach, but because the "impact was disparate". Why must every issue in our society be somehow shoehorned into a matter of race?

I wish Microsoft would make a language almost exactly like Typescript, but where code has to be strictly typed (no any, unknown, etc.) and it would compile to a normal binary, with some sort of GC, for multiple platforms.

It would hit the sweet spot for me, I know Rust is popular these days, but it seems like it's made for type astronauts, and sometimes I just want to write some code and get things done quickly and don't care about squeezing out every last drop of bare metal performance or abstracting seven layers of types to please a borrow checker.
I realize this is all a "bad idea" but I'd like to hear what the root reasons are that it really is such a bad idea.

It certainly seems to be a more maintainable way to do it than many "good ideas" I've thought of.

Do you want a complex scaling algorithm that takes the number of visitors and last month's revenue into account? Just write a simple formula!
I agree with sibling comments that you should talk to a therapist about this.

My layperson understanding is that this seems like depression, but obviously take that with a grain of salt. If it is depression, there are a number of ways forward that can help, and they mostly start with finding a trained therapist to correctly identify what's going on.
yeah. You have to assert an object (`Record<string, unknown>`) type first within your asserter (or array or whatever). We ended up having whole stacks of re-usable assertion functions to be used at these boundaries (re-usable on server side too if you're using node!)

I don't know how I can prove a negative. Here's a list of all philanthropist FOSS project donors I'm aware of who spoke out against the Tornado Cash sanctions, and all the Twitter posts of surprised FOSS project developers who were happy to receive gigantic donations from TC pre-sanctions:

[]

We can, however, consider your sources of people who did speak out -- none of them are philanthropists who contributed to large sums to FOSS projects. They were ETH enthusiasts who spoke up to make a point. The probably made some incidental donations to causes they supported, as a matter of being ETH enthusiasts.

Philanthropists use fiat, de facto. Anything else is notable.
It is the same as the recent announcement that NYC was adding cameras on the subways. If criminals aren't going to be arrested and jailed, what good is it filming them while they commit their crimes?
Non-sense. Why is this anger channeled to individual police officers? The people of SF voted for the policies that they're now suffering from.
Ah yes, the classic "all criminals are just misunderstood and will stop committing crime if you give them money" argument.

Mozilla was like this too because it was (initially) the open sourced Netscape code, at least until they decided to throw most of it away and start over.
The great Britney Spears once said…

“Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me, what happens when it stops?”

Here, she completely sees the delusion of identity and the larger material world of delusion. Her only mistake is assuming it will stop when in reality the wheel of time has no beginning and only a theoretical end when all beings no longer experience it(time).

Let's see..
Software I am thankful for.. there is a fair amount of such.

Anki - Software, that helped me build up habit, and made learning language an easier task

Emacs - Wonderful text editor, made interacting with system a bliss.

Nix/NixOS - Distro, that made updates a painless, and fearless task. I love it.

ZFS - Filesystem that I love, for it has many wonderful features, and they all just work. (Also cute compression)

Wine + DXVK/VKD3D - Thanks to this, I was able to completely drop windows partition, and go full Linux.

LaTeX - Thanks to it, I could have cute workflow for writing documents (And yesterday, wrote CV with its' help :D)

Calibre - Man.. what a behemot of book software. Makes anything ebook related painless

Common Lisp(SBCL) and Haskell(GHC) - Very interesting
languages, with very wonderful features. I love them both.

Cool retro term - For playing roguelikes, lets me experience them in very retro, retro way.

Obviously, ublock origin, makes browsing web not a nightmare.

Aseprite - wonderful pixelart software.

There is more, but... I will stop there, to make the comment.. not too long.
IANAL but I feel there's a lot of misinformation in this thread.

There is no such thing as "tainted" ETH. The ETH was transferred from address 0x4B6275DB08c61aeFBa7bADaaE93aa853e377CddB which is not a sanctioned address[0]. It is therefore fine to receive and spend that ETH.

It is possible that the donator violated US sanctions by taking it out of the Tornado Cash smart contract if: 1) they are a US person/under US jurisdiction 2) they are the same person that withdrew them from the Tornado Cash contract (not necessarily true).

Additionally, businesses which are not "money transmitters" (e.g. banks, crypto exchanges, etc.) are not subject to KYC regulations and are under no legal obligation to know the identity of their customers or donators.

Finally, I'd like to add that privacy-enhancing smart contracts like Tornado Cash have legitimate uses and were used for legitimate reasons, notably by Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin who probably didn't like everyone observing and commenting on his Ethereum spending habits. I've seen a lot of "crypto critics" simultaneously criticize the transparency of blockchains and smart contracts like Tornado Cash which fix the problem...

On Android all Google apps default to opening in Chrome with no option to change it, even if you change the default URL configuration that only seems to work outside of Gmail / News Feed. This also applies to their search widget, which you cannot remove at all.

Incredibly frustrating end user experience when I have everything in FireFox, and Adblock too.
That's the point.

So if you are running a company you have three options:

You can maintain the status quo, and nothing changes.

You can try to wring the extra productivity out of people somehow, which people will resent and they will quit, or they will burn out and leave.

Or

You can give people that time back and they will actually be happier in their lives and happier working for you, and you will have a hiring advantage over your competition

While Google, Microsoft, and Apple clearly factor into the equation here (especially Google — when Chrome first came out the marketing for it was a real force to contend with, and they've aggressively pushed Chrome ever since), the other big thing is that Mozilla ceased to be a leader. They started chasing Chrome and put Firefox on the back burner, and now they're reaping what they've sown.

I am a huge proponent of web engine diversity, but Mozilla is going to have to do some serious self-reflection and enact major changes internally to have a fighting chance. As things stand, even if regulation limiting MS/Google/Apple's abilities to self-promote went into place it will make precious little difference because Firefox gives few reasons for non-technical users to switch to it. As big of a splash as Manifest V3 has been, it's ultimately a storm in a teacup that only a portion of technical users know and care about.

i don't know, after a list of things he didn't do that he's thankful for, containing something he was responsible for in this way is a subtle nod to what he did create.

Its powerful because (a) he probably didn't explicitly add it, and (b) it references his impact on the world and (c) the iPad is obviously important but no where near as important as mathematics or medicine, and its not included on the list, just a helpful nod to its ability to help him reflect on this list.

This is really the ideal move. Let Coinbase lawyers figure it out. They have the legal expertise and better resources to determine potential connections to crime than anyone else does.

If Coinbase seizes the money, that's fine. If they let him keep it, then there's no better way to cash out than through Coinbase. It's going to generate an automatic love letter to the IRS with all the details of the transactions, and he'll be taxed appropriately.
So far, people seem to get the most out of the `performance.timing` API and a metrics package. There are very expensive real user monitoring tools to do some of this, but that browser API makes it really easy to just wire up an app and collect whatever you care about directly.

If the donor tried to make a statement by getting a FOSS developer in trouble with the IRS, that is not something to applaud! The people being who would be punished here are not the people attempting absolute financial control. I would not very publicly send a "donation" of valuable but illegal drugs to my favorite charity, even though I support ending the war on drugs.
This is partially incorrect as it isn’t the only reason the sourdough can become sour. The sourness comes from the relative mix of bacteria. I believe the acronyms are BAC vs LAC but may be wrong on that. One is more milky and the other is more acidic, and which thrives proportionately better depends on the relative hydration and type of flour (whole vs white vs rye etc etc etc).
The interview I saw with Simon, they asked him what did he consider to be unrealistic about The Wire. His response was that they needed to simplify the organization on the drug side. The reality was more complex, and groups were usually much, much smaller, but to make it work for the show they simplified into larger cartels the audience would be able to remember.

As for the non-drug side, well, let me say this. I went to college with a number of people from the DC political circuit, and they would get together each week to watch The Wire and drink and laugh. The reason for their laughter? They personally knew the people in the show that the characters were quietly depicting, and would find their portrayals accurate or hilarious. There were more than a few articles that came out when the series first aired of local noteworthies accusing The Wire of slander, to which The Wire's writing team would respond: "What made you think you were this character?"

But yes, ultimately I agree with you. The Wire is a fiction intended to be very close to reality, to make a point about the state of that reality. I think one of the major points, is the one I wrote above.
I was aiming at the 50 million "active user" threshold. Wikipedia may be social media, but there is most likely a much smaller number who are "active" and "interact" with the site. The article linked also mentions that perhaps Twitter's "active user" count is far below 50 million.

I consider myself and most others as passive users, just as I am with other sites (clearly not social media), such as www.irs.gov (U.S. tax agency) or Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Or, as the article puts it, "Visits and users are not the same"

Agree with all of that, but also, it's been at quite a while since I used it. I'm sure it's improved a lot since then, and my memory might be off as well. I really remember not being able to get it to work with generics. But maybe I didn't read the docs deep enough.

We just do what you describe now, and don't even really want automated type checking. We just write our own assertion functions. The weakness of writing your own is that you have to sort of "manually" upgrade them when there type changes, or they drift and your editor won't tell you about it.
And that person will be an AGI
I explicitly leave it in for this sort of interpretation. I remove it from my iPad, but not phone.
You might care to listen to David Simon's own take on statistics and measurement:

<https://yewtu.be/watch?v=nRt46W3k-qw>
> If all iPhones do this it will matter.

No it won't. An phone has around 5 watt hours. So: 5 watt hours / day * 150 million people * 365 days = 273GWh / year / 4,116 billion kilowatthours / year = 0.006651% of electrical usage.

Yah, it's virtue signaling, not anything real. And keep in mind 0.006651% is total electrical usage - this time shifting might save 10%, so actual savings are even less than that.

Most of my ire (as a non-resident) is because I am forced to sometimes spend time in San Francisco, and it is a worse experience than nearly any other city I've visited in the world, which are many, most of them in vastly poorer and more generally corrupt societies, that somehow manage to be more functional and cleaner than SF.

Sorry, but I will not elaborate.
I think people do care, but what are we suppose to do? Its psychologically taxing to consider how fragile our world is, and how insane some world leaders are. The most logical thing is to keep our heads down, continue with living our lives as best as possible, and hope that nobody is dumb enough to push that big red button

This applies in reverse to the lack of accountability and closing of ranks when police do something that's out of line. Why would police departments expect citizens to treat them with respect when enforcement of the law within their own ranks is so poor?
There is some excellent comedy in it too though. Dark for sure, but very funny.
