As your second sentence suggests, I have difficulty seeing this as anything more than rent-seeking masquerading as innovation.
Are you suggesting that a 15 year deprecation path is a fuck it attitude towards stewardship?

Distros are free to've replaced the symlinks with wrapper scripts in the meantime. Granted, I expect Arch will go ahead & let the symlinks disappear. But I can't imagine what you think of Arch's stewardship

I expect this should have about as little impact as the usr merge many distros have gone through
And now they do, so perhaps it's working as intended. :P
I don't know volleyball well, but isn't it fairly deterministic within the window of 2 seconds? Like... your teammate just set the ball. What are you going to do? Isn't ALWAYS spike the ball?
US consumer prices continue to rise sharply despite Fed rate increases
It sounds to me like the effects on the rest of the team has already set in. That is, anyone reasonable would already have questions about management / leadership.

Making the change now:

- won't save the situation

- it might, as others have mention actually undermine any trust the rest of the team has left

- invite legal action on the part of the dismissed employee.

All that aside, giving the rogue employee the benefit of the doubt, it feels like it might be health / mental health related issue. Random time off being the tell.

Sucks for the team. But dismissing someone who needs help is a tough call.
Being well-paid isn't a signifier of whether or not one will accept a bribe. Greed is greed.

In addition, we could really use a mechanism for the judiciary to declare a law or amendment ambiguous. The legislature gets locked in and catered meals from a random local public school until the judiciary is happy that the new law isn't ambiguous. Apart from DC having the best school lunches in the country, we would also see less vitriolic polarizing arguments. The federal legislature should decide at what point a developing fetus or child gets what rights, and how those should be weighed against the rights of the mother to be free. Because human rights both to life and liberty are a federal thing. And the whether the 2nd amendment is ambiguous due to changes in language or intentional due to disagreement even back then, the judiciary could say "clean this thing up and come back when you have a supermajority, hope you like canned green beans".

As a freelancer you only see projects that were in bad enough shape that they needed extra help, no?
The biggest expert on one's needs is oneself.

Giving a person money and then telling them to invest it wisely is not necessarily the worst idea ever.

The risky part is that you're giving the money to random people; as opposed to smart, promising entrepreneurs.

The question becomes what's the risk of free riding & unwise investment, versus indifferent investment, versus people who indeed invest wisely.

Personally I think that -in most of the OECD- the average/net risk already lies somewhat on the wise investment side. (slightly out on a limb: else how could the economy grow to begin with?)
Brave New World addressed this by classifying members of society into “alpha,” “beta,” “gamma,” etc.

The lower classes just worked and took drugs (soma) so they could withstand working.

Of course Huxley was writing sci-fi but it does fit into human nature of kind or messing around if possible. Look at chimps… they basically just gather food, sex, and lounge about. We aren’t too far evolved from chimps.
Looks like it has the non-reactive Jupyter style notebook as opposed to the reactive-style Observable one though. I do prefer the latter by a large margin to be honest. Are there any plans to also support reactive notebooks?
Unfortunately, this seems symptomatic of GNU's attitude: we've come up with something silly and it's going to screw some people over badly in the least agreeable moment, but we're too stubborn and proud to admit it. Take it, or buy a Windows 11 license.
Disagree -- the existing disclaimers are, IMO, more sufficient than any ToS one sees on typical digital services or digital-derived products.

If the Engineering Board (EB) wants to require formal stamps for their engineer's outputs, they should define that. They don't have the authority to regulate lumber, meat, the thickness of paper, or other markets. This market is separate from their standard market for engineering marks -- this is the market for approximate views from derived data with no legal standing for Engineering work. The EB wants to make that an established guild only. No consideration is needed IMO.
In the US!

I got an 'LG Optimus' phone in 2015 for $125 (after tip and tax, down from the $150 I had in my memory.) I don't have the 2013 receipt for the $40 phone though, that might have been through a WalMart contract.

A new 'Moto G Power' can be had for $150 right now (down from $250) and a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro can be had for $220. You can find sub-$50 phones too, especially in the used market.
Even if the company is incorporated in Delaware ?
Carrier-wifi is a way for mobile operators to use local Wi-Fi networks operated by the same mobile operator, if it offers a better connectivity.

As said in the video, there is no need to enter a Wi-Fi password as from the user point of view this is still a mobile phone communication.

I remember there were hot debates at IEEE 802.11 10 years ago because they saw this operator proposal as a way to render traditional Wi-Fi business obsolete.

Can you configure VSCode so that when opening folder/workspace, you have pre-configured extensions to enable? And default window could have none, yeah.

It bugs me that every extension I install is by default enabled and I have to disable them per project explicitly.

And I have same pity as op : vscode open is not instant AND it opens the file not in new vscode window, but some unrelated window which I used to open specific folder.

Otherwise VSCode is great.

Edit: Looks like ongoing effort is in progress to tackle extension problem: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/40239
Purely from a self serving point of view what message does it send. By the time it reaches every else the guy/gal was the best employee in the world and you fired them to save a few bucks. I'd never work there if I heard that story.

They weren't implying that, see the quote they included. OP said they hadn't seen profit margins this high, and the reply indicates that it's not uncommon to see software even higher.

It's just a useful tidbit, related to the point they specifically quoted.
Though perhaps you could say they sell derivatives of software products?

I'm assuming they write the best custom chip design software and that's their biggest competitive advantage (and then operational excellence and savvy business maneuvering et cetera). Though I know nothing about them just guessing as an outsider.
Then Mario is above them during the transmorgrificalization.
"(...)if gasoline has an energy density about 100 times higher (well, 60 times) why are dragsters not even faster?"

Because the limitating factor stops being the power, and becomes the grip to the road.

>Can I cite the precedent of an individual plaintiff winning more than $50MM in a civil judgement?

No, can you cite a precedent for someone being ordered to pay almost a billion dollars for saying a mean thing on a blog. You said it's precedented, I was asking for the precedent.
I think it's a bit silly to get rid of such established aliases. Surely they aren't a real maintenance burden.

Though I can't say I entirely hate it, for the (admittedly absurd) reason that egrep = grep -E, fgrep = grep -F, but pgrep != grep -P! It's an awkward incongruity that's easy to get tripped up on occasionally.
> has only security updates for a long period.

I didn't say "forever", and paying $250 for a suite that will stop getting updates in 3-4 years is not what I had in mind.
I think you replied to the wrong comment, this response does not follow the post that was being replied to.
Ah I see. As Kevin said, the HTTP response is generally nothing compared to the memory required by the VM.

A response might be a couple MB, a medium sized Rails app will need a couple hundred MB to load it’s code etc.

This is probably the most unsurprising thing I've heard all year.
There are other studies that show that union density positively correlates with pay within industries.

There's also a weaker positive effect on non unionized pay on industries with a higher union density. That is, if your competitor is unionized your pay is probably higher than it would have been.
Yeah. Why would anyone seriously need this?

License plate isn't something like, say, iPhone wallpaper that you can change when you get bored. Don't they just stay the same for years and even for the lifetime of the most vehicles anyway?

Any actual practical use cases instead of a gimmick that I'm missing?
Not saying its been easy in anyway (and I was in Management Consultancy too) but I am WAY better in more divergent thinking jobs.
Maybe it's easier to grind the surfaces flat than to carve in small detailed images.
My first computer was a Model III with 48K of RAM, two single-sided floppy drives, a cassette drive (we had two games on cassette: Frogger and Sword of Roshon (a text adventure that I never beat). We also had a word processor (but no printer) and another text adventure called Xenos (I eventually found this game again and beat it in an emulator. It was so satisfying!). My dad bought the computer used for our family in 1984 because he thought I would like it.

It also came with a book called Getting Started with TRS-80 BASIC. It was really simple and well-written, with some amusing illustrations, so I was hooked almost instantly. I asked my parents to subscribe to Family Computing (a magazine at the time) because in each issue, they included a BASIC program that was usually a game of some sort.

So I would spend a few hours typing the program into the computer from the magazine, then another hour or two fixing the SYNTAX ERROR IN LINE XXXX errors that inevitably came up when I tried to run it. But then I would be rewarded with a game that I would usually play for about 20 minutes before getting bored with it and waiting for another issue of the magazine.
What’s the problem with US banning Chinese tech when China has been doing the same to the US for decades?
Notepad++ would fit the bill, if it didn't pester me with an update every time I start it.
I used to say the exact same thing!

I don't have any kids yet, but once it became clear my body wasn't what it used to be, I stopped feeling invincible and realized it sucks to be trapped in a messed up body.

This helped to reduce the poor decisions. You just don't know how long you might last.
I wonder how capex is factored into this. If at some point they dropped a few tens of $B on the fab upgrade, and likely need to do so again soon, when does that get subtracted from profits?
I think of frameworks as running with crutches or cycling with training wheels. People interview potential couriers, look them in the eye, and ask: "DO you run with crutches?"

Not "CAN you run with crutches?" (as anyone who can run without crutches can run with them) but DO you run with crutches, as though running without crutches might signify a lack of ability. Fine time to unask the question.
Bonfire – working to build safer, more open federated tools and communities
And every single one talks about UO like it's dead when it's not. The original still exists and there are tons of excellent free servers now too. In addition to the ones mentioned by others elsewhere in the thread one of the best and most popular ones is UOForever.
And they are probably horribly insecure, like most Internet of Things things. I wonder if a vehicle owner would have legal problems if a script kiddie hacks their license plate.
Hit-and-run drivers would find this helpful, as well.
I recommend not changing the default shell, but rather having Terminal.app (or whatever) start the shell of your choice (in my case: /opt/local/bin/bash). You can't trust that the files in /opt/local or /usr/local will always be there, whereas the ones bundled by macos will.
VSCode, Notepad++, gedit, nano, vi. It's up to you really, our use cases and preferences won't match yours.
> tries to explain why quantum mechanics is mechanics

Curiously though, since the 1800s analytical mechanics, too, began to be seen as a branch of mathematics. But I think that in this case, just as in the case of quantum mechanics, it is still extremely important to see the physical content, and the physical principles, that allow us to apply this or that mathematical framework. The fact that physics is a heavy user of mathematical methods (probably the heaviest of all sciences) does not mean that it reduces to mathematics. Don't lose the forest for the trees.
I love Emacs, and I use it for everything, but it doesn't fit OP's use-case. Emacs startup on Linux is pretty fast these days, but it's painfully slow on Windows. Real Emacs users just never close it, but that's not how this guy wants to work.
So his one eye goes through his face and you see it from both sides. Wonderful
Come on, that’s just not the “price” of a thing by any sane definition, or otherwise I would be very happy how cheap I got my home for..
Love that you angryly included the source, like the internet is a debate club. You and all the other pitchfork handlers are assuming Apple actually needs to be fixed for this entirely-made-up and self-imposed issue. They don't. It really is that clear.
To be fair, all Huawei and ZTE "equipment" I've ever seen has been total garbage, and as much as I hate the spying by our own government in America, the Chinese literally run City 17
It must be satire.
Also the long-term uncertainty of Taiwan's political situation will continue to weigh on TSMC's stock price.

For example, investors may be afraid that there might be some ominous signals coming at this week's National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, held every five years.
Yes and he was also part of the boys club by knowing a bunch of VCs. Who you know is more important than what you are building in the modern game of venture capital.
To me this comes down to legal. If the person has been documented as a problem, corrective actions have been documented, and whatever you have as an HR dept says it's ok to fire the guy, fire him. If you feel guilty, then offer him a portion of his potential vesting, and explain that he was shit, but you don't want to leave him empty handed.

Is the timing great? No. That's why it must be well documented the behavior your penalizing. He will almost certainly come back to sue you for wrongful termination if there is no documentation (and you have any value to your shares).

Good luck, cut the dead weight, and move on.
Many license plates already have an ad under the main number.

In the US I usually see this as the name of the dealership.

That small strip area or anything similar would be enough to build an ad business if allowed in the future.
A combination of profit margin, profit, and volatility are relevant. Apple’s lower profit margin is offset by the consistency of its profit margin and sheer size of the profit.

While I hated the decision of adding warnings without much notice (which, in the case of such widely used CLI tools, is the equivalent of a breaking change), I also found an easy solution that would prevent my scripts from spitting out lots of unneeded warnings.

alias egrep='grep -E'
alias fgrep='grep -F'

Now GNU developers can keep doing whatever they're doing, and I can keep doing whatever I used to do.
I'll be honest and say that I - not even that long ago - held similar attitudes and slowly made a series of compromises (to myself) that led to this point. While I'm not sure I fully regret it I do think it was ... not as well-considered as I'd like. ("I don't even know who you are anymore!" he said into the mirror.)

We mostly use a locally-hosted jupyterhub, but for JS work often used other environments. For JS, we made the switch to observable from iodide (after it was wound down) and I think I will re-evaluate platforms again, including JS kernels in Jupyter.
The plate would detect the light from the flash at the same time the light is reflected from the plate back to the camera. It would be too late.
I tend to think it has just gone into retirement income for private sector. For example a typical teacher may have a pension wort 2 million dollars at age 65, where a private sector worker would be expected to see that by contributing to their 401k. The value of the pension will vary based on length of life.

It would be extremely difficult to contribute enough money to a 401k, since it’s basically a lifetimes earning for someone making 80k a year.

I had friends who got $2-3k per month in unemployment for over a year. This replaced their pre-COVID income $1-2k/month.

It wasn’t perpetual. But they got a raise to not work. And they not only maxed out the benefit but some of them moved back home with family to minimize their costs and banked their unemployment and still aren’t working. They spent their time smoking and playing games.

This was unprecedented. I would like to see a study into how frequently this actually happened as I don’t know how common my anecdote is.
The technology is synonymous with Facebook. The only reason it hasn't already died like 3D TVs did is because Facebook is propping it up.
If rich person A sells $1,000,000 Boat to rich B, who intern sells rich guy A a $1,000,000 Car it has cost neither anything.
And as mentioned, you can buy any top end iphone for likely free with a sufficiently expensive plan, how is that relevant? You do pay for the full price (often multiple times).
Thanks for bringing this up again. This brings back some nostalgia, as i've learned much through the Youtube Channel "Coding Train" which used this library for literally anything. Haven't watched his videos in a while, was definitely one of those people that made me fall in love with programming.
seems pretty niche. I would think you'll need some kind of course or other backend. or expand the channel and find other topics.

btw, congratulations on starting a channel.
The U.S. position on the entire Chinese semiconductor industry is getting increasingly ridiculous. It's not just chips, since China is the one country that's developed efficient monocrystalline silicon ingot production at scale, and solar panels made with that material are far superior to anything made in the USA currently.

The USA's financialized short-term thinking has resulted in a failure to develop basic technological infrastructure capability, and China is now in the lead - so the response is, stop trading with China on all things silicon? This is the Tonya Harding team's 'let's try to win by kneecapping our superior competition' mentality, and it's doomed to failure, if not in the short term, than certainly in the long term.
Wouldn't you test before upgrading packages in production? And usually you'd want to schedule any upgrades so that the next day or two has coverage from someone who can deal with any issues that arise.
MENA Cloud Pod: A Cloud Podcast in Arabic
Just throwing on the pile of anecdotes, almost everybody I know has had Covid at least once and I can only think of a couple that lost any sense of taste or smell beyond the few days they were sick. I do know one guy though who says he still can't smell many things. Not sure if it's from Covid or not since he was vaccinated. Then again, now we know Pfizer never bothered to test if the vaccine actually stopped transmission, so who knows. [1]

I guess the point is anecdotes are worthless.

The interesting thing is whether you can identify exploitable tendencies in opposition team play (again, faster than your human analysts would otherwise do). If so, that takes preparation with the whole team rather than split second decision making.
How much of the $1B will be paid by Jones vs by Free Speech Systems? Free Speech Systems is a co-defendant in the Jones case and is likely the entity that will pay out the vast majority of the damages.

The Sackler family was listed alongside Purdue pharma. More importantly, personal liability in opioid cases goes FAR beyond civil damages. Dozens of physicians have received fines comparable in net worth to that fine Jones received. Much more important, those physicians have also received prison sentences. Opioid litigation is still ongoing, so the $26B is a floor not a ceiling, and the settlement didn't preclude further prosecution or litigation against a large number of potential defendants.

Jail time and additional financial penalties remain on the table and a real possibility, including for individual drug company execs and major shareholders. In fact, at least one drug co exec has already been charged criminally, found guilty, and received a prison sentence.

If any drug company exec or investor acted as brazenly as Jones has, they will certainly receive a huge financial penalty and a stiff prison sentence. Unfortunately, most of those people are much smarter than Jones so prosecution won't be nearly as open-and-shut.
Interesting. Any idea why they didn't use commercial FETs that come prepackaged?
