If this plan would only impact the sun received by the USA. Fine feel free to do whatever you want to yourself.

In reality this plan is intended to impact all countries. So this war mongering country is unilaterally deciding how much sun my country receives? No, that's not allowed.

All this to fix a problem that you caused? Clear incitement of war; which is exactly the USA's goal. The USA doesn't know what it's like not to be at war.

I'm a remote worker. My company explicitly tells me they like remote workers because we are cheaper than locals (they are based in NYC). My comp is about 20-30% lower than I expect I could get if I had relocated to NYC. It's still more than double anything I could get where I actually live (Salt Lake City).

I disagree with this I think wealthy people can unhyproctitically advocate for higher taxes without necessarily giving up all their money themselves. It's logical to realize one's own small contribution won't do much but the compulsory contribution from everyone will
I like this approach too, just drilling down and fanning out as needed as you research or think.

I’ve used dozens of outlining and mind mapping tools from FreeMind to Logseq to OmniOutliner and more… But for me Obsidian, still wins because of the plugins. Check out the selection of outlining, link management (in particular link graphing) and crucially the refactoring plugins.

At the basic level the outlining plugins give you shortcuts keys to rapidly realign, reindent, fold and navigate a large tree of indented text, and when you combine that with the ability to take an entire level of that tree and just slice it out into its own document, leaning a link to the new document in its place (which other plugins can use to display an inline preview of that document) … it’s just amazing.
So I tried to figure out what platforms the app is available for... But it's not on the website. The download page just tells me it's not available for my current system (Android).
It's just wrong. "Very" + "outstanding" is not the same as "distinguished". "Very" + "entertaining" is not the same as "absorbing". I've only tried it a few times, but not once has it come up with a proposal that is correct.
We knew how to make things like Hero's engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile) since ancient times, so at least there was some intuition that something like the steam engine could be made, even if it escaped our ability.

When it comes to building steam based devices the biggest difference to people back then is probably our knowledge of thermodynamics, which grew explosively (no pun) since the mid 17th century.
You can also "fix" it by ignoring that memory area by adjusting kernel parameters. That's how I do it on one of my old laptops.

I wonder if the kernel couldn't perform ECC itself at a small performance cost by storing CRC bits in padding bits (that would require cooperation from the compiler), or other memory areas, checking them on load, and recomputing them before store operations. It may be easier to achieve on RISC architectures where load and stores are explicit.

I read a paper that seemed related to that some time ago, probably on an embedded microcontroller; the performance penalty was about 20% (you just need a few extra memory operations, performing ECC computation is pretty cheap, and is done 100% within the cache).

Alternatively, the kernel could checksum memory areas, and warn/panic if they change without having written to them. As a bonus, it could help protect against rowhammer attacks. Performance cost might be less.

Of course, ideally, ECC should be a standard feature, as it is on FLASH devices... CPUs should also support it even without explicit support from DRAM... Implementing the mechanisms I described above in hardware should be relatively easy.
Yes, Java has java.util.Deque [1]. The purpose of this JEP is to add a more generic interface over the ordered collection types, which all have slightly different names for these operations.

On the one hand I get where Equifax is coming from. I’ve had coworkers before with multiple full-time jobs and only a very few can pull it off without it seriously impacting their expected productivity. The answer to this in that specific case is firing I think because it’s just dishonest. Not only are you not putting in the time, you’re also not making an equivalent business impact.

The general answer is that people are doing this because they feel undervalued. Sure there are some who will try to bend or even break the rules always if they feel they can get away with it, but for those whose output is a multiplier above normal, why should they donate that productivity to an employer who won’t pay for it?

Equifax is a horrible company overall, and this kind of monitoring is wrong. Their reaction to the facts isn’t necessarily wrong, though.

As others have pointed out the fancier word is not always a drop in for the “very x”.

But that isn’t how to use these tools. These tools are great for _reminding you that these other words exist._ I bet most of our writing is riddled with lazy idioms because we’re doing the hard work of turning thoughts into words. That’s hard enough without raising the bar even higher.

Once the first pass is written down however it’s valuable to do a quick skim to see “is there anything I can do to make this more readable? To make it so that my idea gets implanted in the readers brain?”

If you write a paragraph and say very three—or even two— times, a tool that can quickly give you alternatives will make your writing more readable.
The point is that when you use "very", you reveal that you have not attained that level of intellect which realizes that "very" is extraneous almost every time. This insight usually comes with a large amount of time invested in reading challenging books. It has little to do with expansive vocabulary, and more to do with understanding word choice and avoiding pretension.

We pick "very" when we have not trained ourselves to be conscious of word choice. When we become conscious of it, we stop saying "very" quite naturally.

And we start using annoying words like "quite".

For anyone trying to sound like they have a better grasp of English, definitely lose the "very".

Here's an example: which is better? "gregarious" or "very outgoing"?

(It's a trick question - they're both bad... the correct answer is "outgoing")

If you want to sound actually smart, remove words like "very", and don't change "outgoing" to "gregarious". The only people who use "gregarious" in a normal conversation are people who are trying to sound smart. A smart person is conscious of how to avoid using pretentious words in normal conversation. Smart people usually don't _need_ to demonstrate that they are smart.

To sound intelligent, simply use the tone of your voice to indicate that you could say "very", but instead you just say "outgoing" - perhaps with some inflection or cadence variation. Smart people notice when someone omits words like "very", because they have been faced with the same issue.

I frankly don't understand why projects [*] are still written in pure C. With the exception of a few edge cases, C is pretty much a subset of C++, so you can easily write code that's 100% C, except for when useful data structures from the STL are required. In this specific case, what is the disadvantage of writing C code that pulls in std::unordered_map when a hash table is needed, but otherwise does not use any other C++ language features?

I don't know about Mosaic[1], but there are many alternatives out there. I frequently use elinks as a text only browser since it makes an attempt to layout pages (most pages have some form of layout to handle navigation elemnts these days). There are also browsers that handle graphics, but not scripting or CSS, if that is what you want.

[1] I have heard of people trying to get Mosaic to work on modern machines, but I think the efforts were restricted to rebuilding the software rather than adding features.

Google Maps is one of the sites I still whitelist, but I often reconsider this decision, and I'm ready to find a replacement.

Today's Google Maps is a shadow of its original self, which did have a no-JS version, by the way. It has gradually gotten simultaneously heavier, less convenient, more annoying, and less useful, and I've just about had it.

Just off the top of my head, it no longer displays zip codes, takes a long time to load, has missing street names on the map, often promotes features I do not want while taking away features I do want, and is covered so thick with paid-promotion items that I can barely find somewhere to click that isn't an ad.

You can swap "very minimum" for "minimum". The "very minimum" means "the extreme minimum" or the "true minimum". Well, a minimum is already an extreme; and absent reasons for believing otherwise, it's reasonable to assume that a speaker wants you to believe she is truthful.

You can use "very" simply for emphasis, rather like "literally" is often used; "I did my very best". If it's really being used just for emphasis, then you can delete the word "very", and simply set the following word in bold or somethiing.

You obviously cannot rewrite things in another language overnight. But I do wish that the industry saw this as an emergency rather than something ranging from "well, we will get to it when we get to it" to "ugh, I'm tired of these people talking about memory safety - don't you know that you can write correct C programs?"

The linux kernel in particular is perhaps the single most important piece of software on the planet. And we vulns like this all the time. Hundreds per year. And there's billions more lines of C and C++ out there handling all sorts of untrusted input.

The path off C and C++ is complicated as shit. Interop with Rust is messy and there aren't effective tools for automatic translation. Carbon is barely a language at this point (they don't even have a compiler) and doesn't yet provide safety. The story for the other alternative languages isn't any better. But I really wish the industry was throwing billions at this across dozens of major companies and open source organizations.
My belief is this is an issue because iphones have a unique type of charging port. Maybe if they were USBc then nobody would have cared, or they would have been encouraged not to bundle it in, as most people probaby already have a USBc cable and charger.

Not at all - in fact what I have noticed is that 4G seems to be far more reliable than 5G (on a Galaxy Fold 3 here) even in strong signal areas.
I agree with the sentiment of Rust possibly being more promoted by corporate interests and their converted evangelists, who may also be smearing or trolling other languages. Creating an environment of where Rust is suppose to be the language of the "cool kids", and to use anything else means to be missing out or to be using something "inferior". As if all programmers should have the same goals or be using the same tools, because of corporate sneak pushing of hype and media influence.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good things about Rust. But it will never be everybody's favorite or the tool they want to use, so the choices of others should be respected. There is plenty of room for other languages to share the spotlight.
I tried to convince my team to jump ship to Linear from ClickUp. Initially, we thought that ClickUp would be better than Jira, but ClickUp's horrible sync ends up making it slower than Jira since you're performing operations over and over again until they stick. ClickUp's strategy seems to be to churn out half baked features to get a really impressive feature comparison list to hide under a mountain of tech debt (that's how they got us during our trial, at least).

I used Linear by myself until the free-tier issue limit was used up. I can confidently say it worked great for me (the integrations and built in GitHub automation were killer for me, and worked with 0 config out of the box). However, I had trouble getting my PM on board because she was concerned that Linear was a great issue tracking tool, but we'd be losing too many capabilities from ClickUp. Personally, I'd rather have a targeted tool that does one thing extremely well rather than a tool that does 10 things poorly.

I for one don't really mind the Autoupdate. I can't stand it that it forces me to restart while I am in some workflow. I'd be fine with "you should update, click here, when ready" which I can click five minutes later when done with the task.
I have run into something similar with really old MinGW compiled applications. Old MinGW used to start allocating the heap at an non-recommended, but technically working address. After Windows 7, however, MSFT enforced memory safety rules a bit more firmly, making this address non-valid and breaking the program. Visual Studio provides a tool to rebase the heap allocation address, so that old 15+ year old program works again in Win10. I chose another address, admittedly one that might fall into the same category as before, but all of us at work hope to be off this old program by the time that happens again. Or we'll just virtualize it again.
This is the sort of workflow that makes Jira suck... so much mental capacity is wasted on categorization rather than coding. It simultaneously tries to be an issue tracker and a project manager and each team reinvents their own preferred workflow while littering the shared Jira graveyard with a bunch of dead fields and labels and screens and such.

Linear does the opposite, adding rails so you can't go wild and reinvent complex processes. Thank god.
Yeah - I am coming around to the idea that chargers don't need to be included with the phone, but also you should be able to get it with the phone if you happen to need it. It should be an option you can pick whenever you buy the phone.

There are definitely situations now where I really don't need a new charger when I buy a device, so if I can just pick the "no charger" option, I will. But most likely - we won't get the choice. Because it costs more to Apple and other corporations.

I was a bit surprised that my S21 charged super slowly on my OnePlus 30W charger, so I had to buy a Samsung 25W charger. (There are others that work, but they were all roughly the same price as the official one.)

> If you can acknowledge that you're in a more secure position, why then argue for the treatment of those less fortunate based on the security that's been afforded to you by your particular set of circumstances?

If society thinks there should be a safety net, and I agree, then society should take responsibility in the form of insuring that safety net is available. I have no problem with company funded, state run unemployment insurance, I think that the idea of your health insurance being tied to your job is asinine, etc.

But at what point is it the individuals responsibility to save money for a rainy day?

But why should it be on the company?

> The economy consists of more than just developers. Unemployment spiked in 2008 and many people were unable to find work after having been fired.

And what were the companies suppose to do (like the one I worked for) that ran out of money? Most people that tying your health insurance to your company is ass backwards. So why tie more of your livelihood to your company?
