Teams is actually an alternate front end for SharePoint and Outlook Groups that includes a chat client and phone plugin.

Both Google and Microsoft products are awesome in this space. They each have pretty serious deficiencies that may or may not be a big deal to you.
For those of us who are not well versed in these standards, could you describe, or just bane, some crucial parts that would be needed for compliance but are missing?
I wondered about that too. My guess is that the image was just a trigger loaded off either a remote server or a local server installed by the exploit so they could know when the user was logged in to their Google account rather than a personal account, which would be off-limits for the exercise.

I’m guessing the documentary just glossed over it for brevity.
Only naive people who will get preyed upon. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Making an ML Invisibility Cloak
I was a huge MooTools fan back in the day. I literally have a t-shirt in my closet[1] and an inordinate amount of MooTools left on my personal site. Even so, I think trying not to break it is beyond silly.

It made the decision to extend prototypes. In hindsight, a huge mistake. At the time, almost nothing in JavaScript had changed in over a decade, it seemed safe, an unmoving target.

Douglas Crockford really doesn't get enough credit for the work he did getting ECMAScript into a living standard again. How soon people forget, but in the mid-aughts any mention of JavaScript was followed by a scoff.

Anyway, JavaScript shouldn't be trying specifically not to break MooTools. MooTools was trying to fix JavaScript.

I agree with this, even as a long-time zstd user both personally and professionally. The fact is nearly every app, widget, API, and even CPU can encode and decode gzip. Sometimes you need to make the prosaic choice.
Exactly, that's the idea. Japanese multinationals are in all developed and developing countries. They always need Japanese speaking bilinguals because there are always so many Japanese who may not be speaking English. Just for an example if we search on LinkedIn for Japanese speaking jobs in the USA, at any point of time we would find 5000-6000 such jobs only in USA. And, all jobs would never be on LinkedIn.

Same is the case with any other countries. So, yes, the idea is to have partners in various countries. Countries like the US may have two partners (East and West costs), while many other countries can just have one partner with exclusive rights for that country.
With the amount of soot kicked up, recent (2018?) simulations show the entire Northern Hemisphere will get dark, nothing will grow for 5-10 years, and the great plains will be colder by 100(F) degrees (admittedly the worst, but most other places are 60-80 degrees colder.

Go south, quickly. Mexico fares okay, but everything in the southern hemisphere does much better.

Orange wines are also often "natural" wines, using entirely wild yeast and no added preservatives. Very much worth getting some, and it's not even that expensive.

Apparently it's traditional in Georgia (the country, not the US state) and that's also cool because I otherwise never get to interact with anything from that part of the world.

That's an odd failure. The justification is in the second half of the paragraph.

> Like I use Windows every day and have no problems at all. And I use Linux every day too for work. But by my experience if I come around an old Windows application (Vista, XP, 2000 or before) then I probably have a better chance to run it as it meant to be on Linux w/ Wine than on Windows 10/11

For a Linux guest, I just forward the host's pulseaudio socket over ssh.

The vast majority of programmers I know have some common characteristics.

They come from stable upper-middle class homes. They are afforded the opportunity to practice diligently at a young age with the proper technology. Often have a parent in the technology sector and/or interested peers groups in which to learn from.

Very very very few are low-income self learners who pursued and persisted in their interests.

"Learn to code" is a low-key flex statement intent on intimidating people. Because, it's hard as fuck if you're over 25 and never touched the terminal.

> Yes, I get desktop Excel but I have never had to use any feature in it I couldn't get in Sheets (I use sheets a lot outside of work).

If that's the case, there's a pretty decent chance that you just have relatively novice spreadsheet skills/needs, so a basic tool will satisfy you (e.g. you're not so much evaluating your tools, but yourself). I'm not saying that's actually the case, just that "it works for me" gives very little information about the software you're using.
I'm glad folks are starting to look at memory efficiency of Java programs - there's just so much improvements to be had there. For a fun exercise, take a look at memory footprint of storing a million entries in a HashMap<Integer, Integer>. Between "object header" overhead, "everything is a pointer to a heap allocated object" overhead, "GC needs enough headroom to remain effective" overhead, the actual memory consumption can be as much as 10x of a comparable C, C++, or Rust implementation.
Sometimes titles are all-first-caps though. It is not obvious it doesn't mean the drink. If it is first-caps for first words and proper nouns, then why has

It looks like you're seeking a technical solution to a social problem. If there's no stable society, all the tech in the world is useless.

The key is to have a circle of friends who you've worked with in the past to route around problems like natural disasters, societal failures, accidents, etc. This is your local community network.

If things go bad, who can you count on, and who will count on you?

Technology that would be useful in a local failure of society would be centered around distributed communications and logistics. Perhaps setting up stand alone mesh networks with a small server to help coordinate activities would be quite helpful. Look into the ways people help in the disasters that already happen, and you'll likely find things to lend support towards, and/or adopt for yourself.
>what do people mean with those names they use to describe it's taste: "dry", "body", "mature", "grassy", etc.

I always thought it was all pretentious claptrap, until a bar owner gave me a glass of 'wine from where I'm from".
Wow! My description?
"Dry, full-bodied, heavy", then, there where the _several aftertastes is how I'd describe it, and i later bought several bottles.
As a dark-beer drinker i was knocked out by this stuff, and did (finally) understand how some descriptions can be applied. I've tried a few different wines in a few different bars since, and the vast majority have been a very easy "light, fruity....and shite".
This sounds amazing! Got any more info? Where can I find this guy and his patents? I wonder if I can whip something up at home...
I think VR will be less profitable because you can't go around 18 hours a day using it and being nagged. When you take it off you're unplugged. Big tech doesn't want this.

I'm extremely interested in VR but I'm cynical about what implementation will catch on.
Possibly because the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine is not any likelier, given the inevitable radioactive fallout that would drift east into Russia?

I hate Putin, don’t get me wrong, but if he were to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, this would not immediately trigger WW3 or armageddon.
Make up your mind or you will find Putin under your bed.
In 2002, Code Red mostly brought down the Internet. It was big news then. I can't imagine Microsoft could survive that happening today. Either way, making it sound like something that happened so few human years ago in either case deserves more reflection.
Maybe, maybe not. That doesn't change the fact that "we spend more on public safety so the amount we spend on roads is enough" is straight nonsense. They are two different things with different requirements. How much is spent on one has nothing to do with how much needs to be spent on the other. You can underspend on roads for quite a while before things start obviously falling apart. People notice pretty quickly if the cops or ambulance aren't showing up though.
This is so great in theory, too bad if you can only install these via the AltStore and if you’re away from your Mac for 7 days the AltStore and all those apps stop working.
Late last year Google got FedRAMP High certification for Workspaces and Public Cloud. What this means is that, rather than have to use a "Government" version of Office365, and a "Government" version of AWS, and potentially even other versions for contractors, you can instead just use regular Google services for everything, at the highest levels. Managing different vendors and products and clearance is a nightmare. This is a potential game changer.
Agreed. I’ve switched everything over to zstd and find using it actually speeds most tasks up (lower disk IO).
According to the wiki (middle of the first paragraph), they update it once per year in January. The war began in February.

That’s a problem with Office too.

I can assure you that some asshat HR dude has dropped the “Gay Employee PII DRAFT2 Pre Final.xlsx” on his home drive or saved it to a public folder while trying to email it to his Yahoo account to work on it at home.
I won't argue that Excel is great. It is by far Microsoft's best product. It is an amazing accomplishment. Google has been able to do 85% of it and also added some great collaboration features. Yeah, it's not as good and probably never will be. No one will ever be on par with Excel. But the rest of Office is pretty bad.
It's sort of like grade inflation, isn't it?
Google Drive's desktop sync app is the worst piece of software I have used in recent memory. It simply can not sync large amounts of small files in any reasonable amount of time (hours and hours for 20GB of files on gigabit ethernet), will randomly leave things out from the sync with no explanation, and burn up 100% CPU the entire time. And if you move the sync folder it will re-sync from square one.
It is apparently possible to run Wine on WSL.

It's not a direct apples to apples comparison, but my anecdotal evidence, on Linux, is the opposite. I usually use Firefox on my Linux/X11 box, but every now and again I fire up Chromium and always get the feeling that it's much snappier.

I visit the dentist once every 5 years or so.

No cavities so far. Last time i checked I was 25 years old. I brush my teeth once a day.

I consider myself lucky, since my siblings have had a couple cavities. My mother attributes this to her being very careful when we were babies to not share any spoons to give us some bacteria from saliva.
> I used to live in Mexico

México is not the US grassland, different geography, different groups, and therefore different consequences as the populations were wiped out by disease, infighting and war

Not to mention, simply because there still are a non trivial amount of indigenous groups, that doesn't mean that there didn't used to be even more variety that is now extinct
Taxpayers already fund them in the form of military spending. Now we need to encourage companies to trickle their decade old tech into the consumer space.
I also think that s-hole is not an appropriate description of Pakistan. Saying that, the frequently used idea that countries with extreme human rights violations are just "bad governments" is very reductionary. Similar to Russia, it's not just Putin, it's the society that shares certain values. I am not inviting to demonize any society or culture either — but to accept that these problems have deeper roots than a corrupt goverment or religious extremists with power.
Oooh! Will 2022 be the year when a virtualization platform can finally run The Sims 2? ;)

It doesn't look like they update it more than once a year. I guess we'll see where we stand next January (if we make it that long)
Diluted vinegar; not a lot, not every meal, but a little bit once a day(I usually take it with canned seltzer water at dinnertime). It's the oldest recorded all-purpose tonic and it has a very clear purpose in digestive health by biasing the body's pH balance a little more acidic, which makes some foods easier to stomach, and also pushes the adaptive fitness of the gut.

While the scientific framework I'm building off of is patchy, I think of the gut biome as something you have to "train up" to give effective responses instead of dumping its issues onto other regulatory mechanisms, so exposing it to a variety of training scenarios would be an instrumental part of that, and it probably wouldn't be a factor of specific foods so much as general %s of fiber, fat, acidity, salinity, etc.

Pretty much this. No one is familiar with any of this stuff, so you have to navigate off the golden path.
I think parent commenter is talking about something like TrackIR, that uses a scaling factor to turn small head movements into large in-sim movements. It has been around since 2001 and has some advantages over VR for seated applications, particularly in terms of cost and comfort.
Being used to slow broadband links, I always compressed my tar files. You might have wait a half hour like the article, but you'd save an hour on the transfer. And then I used my first gigabit local area network.

It was was even more amazing using a 10gb SAN with SSD's. At that point the bottleneck seemed to be all the tiny files on disk (python venv's, for instance)
You can be using your Excel windows client to edit a sheet, while someone else is editing on a web browser, while someone else is editing on an iPhone, while someone else is editing on an Android phone, while someone else is editing on a Mac.

Sheets is cool, but, Excel and Word and Office365 are streets ahead of Workspace from an enterprise point of view. I've been a staunchly non-microsoft guy for years. When I was younger I was the guy writing it at Micro$oft or more likely Micro$shit. These days, managing multiple companies, some of which use Office and some which use Workspace I cringe when I need to deal with issues on the Workspace side. There are some things which Google does better. Generally APIs for the Office365 products are not as good as the APIs for the equivalent Sheets/Docs/etc product. I've done some fun/funky things with using Google sheets as an adhoc database. Put a "job" in a row in a Sheets sheet and a few minutes later something does your task and you can see the result in that sheet. Super easy to do with Sheets API, I've tried for years to get similar CRUD to work on Excel API and always hit roadblocks.

Office365 APIs for user management and groups and all the "AzureAD" stuff is absolutely top-notch.

Anything Google Cloud or cloud related, google wins hands down.

So many choices. No one product to rule them all.
U.S. Preps for Nuclear Fallout
Yes, at least to my eyes, things look more ominous than they did a year ago. Putin said an increasing number of threatening things against Ukraine, but that was just talk... until he invaded. Now he's saying a bunch of threatening things about nukes. But that's just talk... so far.
I'll check this out, thanks.

I appreciate the honesty in the FAQ. No thread safety and still some open questions about iterator invalidation. I look forward to seeing what they come up with!

Borrow checker style "Aliasability XOR Mutability" does restrict a lot of valid programs, but has some nice properties for scaling large codebases besides the obvious performance advantage of ARC. I can see how this kind of big "down payment" to restructure programs might go against the incremental/fun approach embraced for SerenityOS. More reading on AXM and it's benefits for correctness:

Have you heard of the Cocoliztli epidemics? Three massive waves of a still-unidentified disease resulting in 90+% depopulation of Mexica peoples in the 50 years following Spanish arrival. The reason there are native Mexica people (my own mitochondrial haplogroup is of the Aztec vintage, through my Mexican matrilineage) is because the Spaniards married (or, ahem, otherwise impregnated) native women. The chaste and Christian Anglo-Americans were virtuous enough to simply ethnically cleanse their Indigenous peoples.

I imagine GP conceived Wine as such because Wine has tended to have a greater chance of running older software than brand new software. This might be because Wine hasn't had the time to catch up with the latest APIs.

But in short, no. Wine has a goal of running all Windows software, old and new.
G.fast is for pretty short runs. It’s basically just a curb-to-router solution; there’s typically fiber behind it.

Probably, but predicting anything is different, and getting good at it requires a willingness to examine where you went wrong in the past, and make adjustments. Like anything, it takes practice. Given that we haven't ever (yet?) had a nuclear armageddon, any estimate of how close we are to it is based on very little data and quite a lot of emotion and politics.
You might enjoy Oz and James' Big Wine Adventure, wherein James May learns exactly what you are asking about, while on a very entertaining road trip with a wine expert (about whom I will not pretend I know anything else). Look up "Oz and James" on YouTube and you'll probably find a few complete episode uploads, if not the whole series.
Kind of ironic coming from the person who would be personally creating the armageddon. How about just don't do it and it won't happen?
A human can't understand the entirety of the universe, but can still enjoy small truths when they find them.

If you really want an old school opinion, I also think there are a lot more important things to life than happiness.

Changing How You Decide Which Problems to Solve
Every now and then I'm reminded of what could have been when someone submitted a patch to Dreamwidth (probably easily ported to Livejournal) that provided a bi-directional NNTP gateway that allowed posting. The Dreamwidth devs quite reasonably ended up regretfully rejecting it because there was no-one in the dev community who could maintain it, but sometimes when I'm reading through a community that generates 5000 messages a day I'm reminded that I could have had real kill files and proper tracking of new messages. Even close to 30 years later I haven't found anything as efficient for forums & such as a good newsreader was for netnews.
The West stands for many things. The West also prioritizes different things at different times. Getting into a conflict with UAE while Europe is on the brink of a massive energy supply crisis would potentially weaken the West even more. I am sure the West is not loving the situation with human rights in UAE, but picks its battles wisely (albeit at the cost of human suffering in UAE).
Adventures in Wine Making at Home
I think GP just meant that it can be ambiguous which one is meant (especially in the context of headlines like this); I'd imagine that even if it were always cased WINE it would still be pretty easily associated with the drink.
