I have worked at MSFT and the author is correct. It’s not explicitly said, but everyone knows you have to hire diverse people if you want to get promoted. And those folks are incredibly hard to find so you end up ignoring hundreds of qualified candidates desperately searching for the diverse one who is at the very least somewhat qualified.
Then WebSocket becomes a broker proxy right?
Oh wow, didn't know that dahliaOS had this! The only barrier that I can see would prevent this from happening for gShell is that web browsers don't support the `webview` element that Electron lets you use (it's basically an iframe but without all the CORS restrictions and the likes, so you can see why browsers don't support it). I suppose one cool side-project would be to set up a service similar to Microsoft's Windows 365 that would stream a desktop environment to something like a `canvas` element — that way, we could get around all the CORS stuff.

Also, yeah what Canonical did with Ubuntu and Ubuntu Touch is pretty cool in terms of convergence (apparently it's really stable, too). I do find having the sidebar UI on mobile a bit odd, but I should imagine that it'd be something to get used to. Phosh and KDE Mobile I think are both convergent, too.

No, it's not wasted; that's my point. Why don't you think Disney's investors demand a $7bn annual saving by cutting the "waste" on advertising?

The spend on fundraising does go towards the mission, because it increases the amount of money for the mission. You're making the incorrect assumption that donations are constant.

Imagine that a charity hiring a fundraiser for $50k garnered $150k of additional donations. Let's say without that fundraiser, they got $100k in donations. So with the fundraiser, they got $100k + $150k - $50k = $200k net to spend on the charitable purpose.

20% of all donations go to the fundraiser's salary while she's employed. But if the fundraiser is sacked, then 100% of donations go to the mission, yet the mission takes a loss of 50%.

> Acting like a gridlocked highway is congestion but a packed subway train isn't is simply an exercise in broadcasting cognitive dissonance.

The difference is when the subway is full you can add another line or bike lanes or footpaths or trams.

Once the 12 lane highway and 10km^2 of parking you need to provide the same capacity as the subway or ten bike lanes is full there's nowhere to go because adding more car infrastructure displaces productive land use. There is no amount of car infrastructure you can have which will meet demand in a major city, it just forces people to spend more time driving and makes the city worse.
Tylr: A Tiny Tile-Based Structure Editor [pdf]
Thanks for your input. So I understand that heating the house requires much more hot water than what my solar heater can probably provide. In that case, connecting it to the radiator system is not so beneficial, and probably better to rely on a heat pump for the radiator water (the solar heater will not provide much help to justify connecting to it)

Is that correct ?

What is an ethical salary for a non-profit organisation?
It would be great if it was weighted by toxicity though. Regular municipal waste is nowhere as dangerous or expensive to dispose of. Meanwhile in Eastern Europe, there are hundreds of sites discovered by authorities, where extremely toxic industrial waste from Western Europe plants is abandoned by various sham companies. Safely cleaning up each of those sites can cost dozens of millions of dollars (per site) and that's assuming the containers didn't break and the poison didn't leak into ground already.
I remember reading about these several years ago. Why didn't they catch on? I think NY City was looking into them.
Is it true that given enough such proofs, I can reconstruct the original thing, so I do leak something?

It works reliably for pages that don't do any client-side-rendering – in that case the browser reliably knows when it has finished loading and layouting all the content and can then restore the scroll position.

Things become more iffy with client-side rendering, because the browser has no clear signal to decide when page-loading has progressed far enough that it can try to restore the previous scroll position.

I'm sure this is great for enterprises but for me, a single developer on a local machine, what benefits does Fleet bring?
At 1/5th of speed of light the probes would cover 1AU in less than an hour, so the visit in the area would be extremely brief. Is there actually a way to get any meaningful data out of it? Or is it just so we can say that we've "been" there?
It’s incomplete in that it only considers direct imports/exports of waste. It can be argued that rich countries have exported manufacturing and resource extraction to poor countries as well, generating waste that wouldn’t be accounted for in this analysis. (Such as: We know that fishermen from poor countries create a lot of ocean plastic waste, but how much of that is generated to sell fish to rich countries). Understanding how much waste is generated by each country’s consumption would paint a more complete picture.

Of course supporting that argument also isn’t clear cut in a way where just stating it outright makes sense, and the article does indeed do a good job of showing that direct waste exports are not really a major contributing issue.
Much of the recent rises are due to investment money entering the system and the calculation used to determine mortgage lending limits changing (from 3x your income to 5x or more). The rises in the early 00s were due to buy-to-let money entering the system. In the 80s it was due to significant wage increases. Before that the last significant rise was in the 50s when households shifted to having two incomes as more women started earning, much of which went on buying a bigger house, which dragged prices up.

Every time there's a major price increase you can point to a congruent increase in the amount of money available to buy houses. I don't think it's a coincidence.

From what I’ve seen the difference is that Fleet is much faster.
> Fleet is our new distributed polyglot editor and IDE.

Ok, polygot makes sense, it supports more than just one language. But what does distributed mean in this context? You run the editor across many machines? What does that mean? Coming from a backend perspective, it quite doesn't make much sense. Thinking about it from a client-side perspective, I'm guessing they mean the architecture is decoupled, meaning basically plugins/extensions but with a fancier word?

Judging by the "Features Matrix" (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTWt9RlJ...), sad to see not a single non C-like language is being considered.
In the early 2000s I had a program on my girlfriend's, now ex-wife's, family computer that would kill the AOL process when sent a specific string over a TCP port so that I could call her when her sister was using the computer. That combined with a DynDNS client let me call anytime.

Her sister caught on but couldn't prove it.
> Pineapple by the slice from a kiosk? Wrapped in plastic. Bubble tea? Plastic container and straw, along with a little plastic bag. Groceries? Plastic galore.

Sounds like the USA too. Things have only started to change in the last 2 years or so, as some municipalities start banning plastic bags and foam food containers, and companies like Starbucks are starting to put on a show of biodegradability.

Meanwhile now we have paper straws coated in PFAS. We definitely don't need the plastic bags, but I'd rather have the plastic straws!
TikTok going big on us e-commerce job listings offer clues
>To avoid a mode, the Canon Cat was designed without a power switch. The reason was that products react to gestures differently, depending on whether they are on or off, and a power switch therefore introduces a mode. To save energy, the Cat went into a low-powered sleep state if it was not used for five minutes. To make sure that sleep was not a mode, any user action or incoming message turned on the Cat without perceptible delay; furthermore, the user action that turned it on was not lost but took effect just as if the machine had not been in the sleep state.

>In many systems, computers come out of sleep mode at the touch of a key, but the keystroke that turns them on—and any keystrokes made subsequently but before the system is fully awake—are lost. Not losing any keystrokes turned out to be an elegant feature. For example, if you had a sudden inspiration or had to take a note during a telephone call, you could just start typing without worrying about the state of the Cat or even looking at the display. It is a characteristic of modelessness that, once you become habituated, you do not have to think or plan before you act; your attention stays on the content of your work.

No, it would stop working. But you could use the power it generates to burn the waste.

> They did absolutely monstrous shit in regards to privacy, that makes the meta of today look like a finely tuned privacy machine that serves to protect every user to the teeth.

How in the world did you come to that conclusion? Any Meta app you have on your smartphone is doing what they can to collect heuristics in order to identify you and serve you Ads. How is that any different? It's just not as obvious.

> Only nobody cared because that was the time prior to the latest privacy awakening [...]

You make it sound like it's a fad or the user simply didn't care in the 2000s. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. If a private company would park a van in front of your door to observe you 24/7 in order to sell mundane details about your daily life to advertisers you'd be up in arms. Yet in the digital space it's no big deal.

My biggest gripe with the Wikimedia Foundation is their clear biases in regards to what articles are allowed to cite. They'll allow citations from the conservative Heritage Foundation in an article describing a CIA massacre in South America. However, they won't allow citations from The Grayzone media because they claim that everything the Grayzone writes is fake news.

I would rather give my money to The Grayzone than to the Wikimedia foundation. And frankly, regardless of what your political predilictions are, giving money to independent journalists will always be better for society than giving money to the Wikimedia foundation.
Oh wow, I didn't know they were looking into orphan drugs as well. Producing cheap biologics still seems to be a huge challenge unlike normal generics
A random comment with no sources about unnamed scientists who tailor their work to be featured in Wikipedia of all places?

I think the comment that best describes it is further down, on the guy who cannot fathom why New York Post (a tabloid) is not allowed as a source but NPR (the most trusted news source in america according to several surveys) is.

When you start off from not separating tabloids from journalism well then yeah you can call out Wikipedia for being "woke".
Or c) use alternatives to those most popular apps.

Trains are only viable regionally in the US, unless you want to spend 72 hours traveling for greater cost than a plane ticket that would have taken you 4ish hours to go from NY to LA. Even if we did build high speed rail the whole way, the number of stops along the way would only cut that to 24ish hours. Most people would choose the plane.
Is it perhaps a workaround for poor sanitation? All that plastic isn’t free so I’d assume there is a reason they do it.
The End of DevOps? (as we know it)
Hello there,
this is kind of my first post over here. Being an agile evangelist for more than 10 years, this is kind of a revelation I wanted to share. Up until now, DevOps for me was just a given (after all, this really gets you "ownership" on the dev side), but with our work at WunderGraph, I found that it's actually just addressing a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.
I would be really happy to get your thoughts and opinions on this. After all, the title is a bit controversial and of course I'm aware that the need for DevOps won't disappear entirely. But would you agree that as devs, you actually shouldn't have to dig into the heap of AWS / other services just in order to get your code running and deployed? Let me know!
I think it will be more about creator merch and gadgets at first.

We didn't have a huge study, <40 participants, so whatever we found wasn't publishable, but I remember the results surprised me.

At the time, I felt like "Sexism is dead" and the university I was in was 2/3rds women to 1/3rd men, so we'd never find a bias.

As a young man (18/19) I learned to question my assumptions. I thought "It's the 90s, sexism is dead.", but it just wasn't true.
So, the same thing Big Tech company do.
As a general rule it’s pretty safe to assume that a billionaire is a greedy, selfish asshole. Otherwise they wouldn’t have got there. I really wish we would stop praising billionaires and looking at them for wisdom.

I love ambient music. Some favorites in the same corner of the genre as Eno:

Pauline Oliveros - Deep Listening

Virginia Astley - In Gardens Where We Feel Secure

Machinefabriek - Slaapzucht

Biosphere - The Hilvarenbeek Recordings (anything Biosphere is sublime but a lot of it is darker ambient than Eno)

I could go on forever. But check these out.

Also, every release from this label is gold:

While you are in general right, GP specificaly has relevant experience for a long time, when time does equal experience.
Parts of the ISP are blackboxes (debayer), other parts are quite trivial and documented in a bit more detail (gamma/degamma, BLC, color matrix transformation, etc.) and some parts are a bit of a mix.

The documentation is spread over many PDFs, incl. from different venors who use the same ISP like NXP, who tend to document things in a bit more detail.

So at worst, it's a gray box. ;)
I don't remember it, but I was assuming that they felt like it was still requesting white Americans.
I hate how much this is made into 'rich' versus 'poor' countries. It distractes from the main culprits:

Coca-Cola, Nestle, Pepsico, Unilever, P&G, Mars, Kraft-Heinz ... etc.

Coca-Cola sells 1.3 billion liters of coke in 'poor' Mexico alone, most of which will be in plastic packaging. Coca-cola alone is creating 110 billion PET bottles _per_year_.

At the end of the day it is companies packaging products that have externalized the environmental costs of the _cheaper_ (for them) plastic packaging onto local governments and consumers. Why are we not discussing that?

Why is there no regulation to force non-plastic packaging when a viable alternative packing exists?

Why are these companies lobbying against plastic taxation?

Why are these companies lobbying against single-use plastic bans?

Sadly straws and q-tips ban is the most embarassing display of a collective of weak governments in the hands of corporate lobbying.

Yet the point overall of that twitter thread seems valid to me.

If widipedia is asking me to donate to support it, but most of the money isn't going to support wikipedia, then that is a bit deceptive. It's especially deceptive when that money isn't just going to the wikimedia foundation's other projects, but as grants to a variety of other organizations that have very different missions.

I think much of the criticism of SeRCH is valid. Their "signature program" hasn't released a video in over 5 years and none ever got over a thousand views. The unclearly related "Vanguard Stem" (I think it is a parent or partner organization) hasn't put out video in over a year. To be clear, a quick google isn't enough to write this organization off, but it did fail to find any information that made SeRCH seem like a legit organization to fund.
Yes, this is correct. Thanks.
