With all of the extra power we have in our components these days, companies feel like they need to utilize all of it, otherwise it's wasted. Thus the suite of horrible programs required to get a USB controller to have deadzones, or for keyboards to have custom functions.
The amount of background processes in one Windows 10 instance without having opened a single program manually is mind-boggling.
Resistance is fertile. I will demand they call the embassy if they push it. I travel for work and need functional devices.
I never did understand how Reddit could realistically remain the site it was after IPO. All the 18+ subs would have certainly vanished, and the fact they are now quarantining is the first step in the process. They've also tried to start paying moderators by making them curators, and that fell apart due to controversy. Is Reddit competently managed enough to merit an IPO?
During my PhD, I had a friend famous for having a pillow on his desk.

The science doesn't back any of that up.

Covid spread out of Wuhun very early. Once it did, all the masking and quarantining post-infection wouldn't stop it.

The few countries that did keep it under control closed their borders to keep it out and tested/traced the few infections they had to preemptively track it down. But countries that already had a nigh number of cases tried those tactics and it failed. The only country with large number of infections who got back down to Covid Zero was china, and they absolutely used authoritarian tactics.

The third world was never going to accomplish that even with authoritarian tactics.

There is no scenario where COVID doesn't become an a global pandemic once it escapes Wuhan. It's just too contagious.
My point was that, even if this was OK under most pre-pandemic contracts, you can be sure that savvy legal departments have since put in language that makes it definitely out-of-bounds now.
Just curious, did he get the job at CDC? Where did his career go after 1980?
Outlook shows national holidays in the calendar, yet its "Scheduling Assistant" is unable to figure out that people don't work on that day.
The free market is only able to optimize towards local maxima. That maxima might have plenty of downsides that don't affect its performance, but have negative effects on human beings and society that aren't captured by market mechanisms.

Your data is a bit dated - the minimum wage in Poland is 3010 PLN and it'll be 3490 PLN starting 1st Jan 2023.

The unemployment rate is very low, so to be able to hire factory employees you'd realistically need to offer at least 5000 PLN (~1000 USD) in gross salary.

You'd have a much better chance to open such factory in Spain or Portugal, the salaries are similar, but you'll have an easier time hiring + green energy from sun.
> On Windows my config doesn’t work at all. I have no idea why. I didn’t have the energy to debug it.

I'm a Linux person, but need Windows for work. I've used Emacs on Windows for over a decade now, and with the exception of magit, everything works just as fine as on my Linux machine. In fact, I have the same config for both, with only a few lines dealing with Linux vs Windows specifics.

So it may be worth debugging your config.

> Fourth, if TSMC is unavailable they will spin the production somewhere else.

Where?

Intel would sell them their fabs, but they don't have a process as advanced as TSMC 5nm. Samsung might be able to compete, but their yields are wickedly low and still slightly behind TSMC. GlobalFoundries might accept Apple as a customer, but then we'd basically have two Qualcomms.

Linux is problematic on hardware designed for other operating systems. My Librem 15 works flawlessly, including suspend and WiFi (without even any binary blobs).
... including, I presume, KDE Connect?

I feel your pain, I tried tons of other solutions before discovering KDE Connect. It works well for my laptop/phone combination, but I'm not surprised if it doesn't work for others, given how horrible each other solution was that I've tried.

edit: I wonder if perhaps some part of your phone hardware overheats after N megabytes because it's not built for constant file transfer, or constant file transfer using these protocols at least? What if you try throttling it on purpose?
I imagined the storage and RAM also come from Korea.

I get that using `cat` is a lot more intuitive for people than `dd` for most common use case for `dd`, but calling it a cult is really weird. Of course it's "almost never necessary" it's just copying bytes there are a ton of ways to do that.
Negotiation makes the protocol more complicated, so more room for bugs. Additionally, sometimes (or maybe all times?) you need to explicitly configure a client or server to not accept broken algorithms during the negotiation, so you would need to keep track for yourself for which algorithms are safe to use and which are not. Anyway it would be interesting to look at how the Wireguard folks would handle this, as Wireguard is a protocol with opinionated crypto.

1. I still can't seamlessly stream from Spotify/android phone to Google/Nest Home speakers. Takes up to 30 seconds to sync, randomly breaks down. I switched to iPhone two weeks ago. Spotify/iOS connects to Google Home immediately and works well.

2. I keep giving different variants of the same command to my Google Home, which often gets answered with "I have no idea how to do that", or sometimes minute grammatical details change the command for the computer, or sometimes it refuses to remember a task that it did the day before with that exact phrase, or sometimes it randomly does something completely different. Why does "Turn living room off" do something different from "Turn off living room"?

I am slowly moving away from Google's ecosystem because nothing ever works seamlessly.

At first, half sounds like hyperbole, I'll give you that.

But then think about all the various taxes we pay directly (e.g., gasoline, internet and phone services, etc.). Then add on the taxes that are embedded in the costs of any of the other goods we buy. It adds up.

Finally, if you consider The Fed a government agency, any time The Fed devalues your money (i.e., "prints" money and creates inflation) that's also all but a tax. That is, we have less to spend.

It might not be half, but it's certainly significantly more than your income tax rate.
> you're not writing code for compilers, you're writing code for people

i agree, thats why i don't want to clutter my code with annotations designed for the compiler, not humans. Type inference is a _good_ thing for readability.
>Except the .NET runtime is about 5-10x faster than those runtimes.

I'm as guilty as anyone for using anecdotal evidence but any reliable numbers that prove this? Stats I recall from years ago showed V8 destroying the .NET CLR.
I think there are way too many pharmacists. It would be more cost effective to allow medications to be picked up without human contact, through a ScriptPro, or InstaMeds system.
>>Can you please provide some sources for that claim?

Family who are teachers - but I guess the bottom of the scale has increased now, that's my mistake.

Also observe how the top of the scale is 64578PLN/year, and according to the article, teachers reach that level in about 20 years on average. So even after working in the profession for 20 years, you don't reach the average wage for your country when working as a teacher.
The certificate specifically demonstrates that the <release-manager>@python.org identity signed the artifact.

So there's a) no long-lived private key for them to lose (because it's never stored after signing) and b) a consumer doesn't need to find the right key PGP ID, verify (somehow) that that key ID is associated with a given release manager -- they can just trust that the release manager is in control of their @python.org identity.

Additionally, with PGP, you have no idea if your private key is being used somewhere else to generate valid signatures maliciously. With Sigstore, in order for the signature to be valid, it must be published in a transparency log, which is continuously monitored. So in the event of if the key/identity is compromised, the identity owner can be made aware immediately and the signature revoked.

More details are here: https://www.python.org/download/sigstore/ and here: https://docs.sigstore.dev/
While it's of course not ideal, stub files can help with this issue. For example you can get stubs for Celery that make both `shared_task` and `delay` properly typed: https://github.com/sbdchd/celery-types
IR transfers worked great on Palm Pilots (and their successors) and many models of graphing calculators.
It doesn't look like it. There are separate controls on the mouse and trackpad screen, but they're tied to the same value.

I would think that would be separate - the keyboard re-mappings are different for each keyboard that you plug in.

I use a normal wheely mouse and am fine with "natural" scrolling, but I may just be weird in that respect. (I've had really bad luck with bluetooth mice, so my not so magic mice live in my closet.)
I'll bring up the Kotlin LSP[0] every time I see Kotlin on HN because I really hope the LSP takes off (which would make it viable to use Kotlin with a non-IntelliJ editor).

Kotlin as a language looks really cool, but I don't want to give up terminal-based, modal editing (which I'd have to in order to use IntelliJ).

Along those lines, I once tried diving into using Gradle outside IntelliJ, and I couldn't find any good resources to help with that. If folks have hints/links-to-blog-posts with regards to that as well, that'd be great!

Your response is fair, but would you agree that "it's a long-standing convention" is not a defense against "I don't like it"?
Anyone else noticed that the Preview app was tinkered with again? Now it lost the ability to open PostScript files. This feature worked from the very beginning of Mac OSX up till Monterrey. The command line PostScript tools are still present though.

Also all Ruby gems with native extensions stopped working for me, even the pre-installed system ones.

> Any of them would not have been perfect. An array is sometimes significantly more performant and requires less memory than a list.

That's actually why I prefer List, because a List is an interface and can be an ArrayList or another type of List and I don't care about the implementation, as long as it's a List. But Array is an array that's not a List, and Iterable is also an interface, and I think a List is also an Iterable, but I'm not sure, and I suspect not every Iterable is a List. And then there's Stream which should have been a set of convenient functions that are part of List or Iterable right from the start, but they're not. And what the hell is a Spliterator and why do I need one to turn an Iterator into a Stream?

I understand that there are reasons for this, and I totally agree that the js/ts dependency situation is far from ideal, but it's still maddening to have so many different collection types, when js/ts just has an array that's not even an actual array, but it still works fine, and all the new stuff just gets added on top of it.

One of these days someone should invent a new programming language that finally gets all of this right once and for all, but I bet people will find ways to improve it again.
The engineering trade-offs are paid somewhere, better in an objective space than a subjective one.
I got made redundant in 2008, i signed up for unemployment benefit (UK) and part of the requirements was i had to attend a cv writing one day workshop, in the basement of a particularly dingy pub.

The guy leading it was spectacularly useless from the get-go, training us in how to use word in the most wonderfully terrible way, one particular nugget i remember him coming out with was:

'bold is particularly good for standing out, in fact I would even go as far as putting the entire document in bold'

I asked him about all caps, but stopped short of asking him if i should sprinkle it with glitter for fear i would 'fail' in his assesment of me and cut my benfits.
To be fair, pluralisation is hard. If you want it to work in English, but you want your software to support translations, you have to call a function and give it all the information necessary for all languages you support. That includes:

• are there 3 or 4? (Plural isn't just zero/one/many in every language.)

• is the quantity small-ish, or large-ish, compared to normal?

• what's the grammatical position of the noun you want to pluralise?

You'd have to have something a lot more sophisticated than string substitution. And there isn't really a pressing need for it. Day(s) works fine.
This is not correct. All that means is that the inventory is stored and fulfilled from Amazon’s warehouses. Commingled is a (minority) subset of that.

I have a pretty old iPad as well and it simply can't do anything I need anymore. Tons of apps won't install by now, it's insecure since it hasn't received any patches in quite a few years, what would I use it for? I'd like to use it as a Spotify Connect target, but no recent Spotify will install on it. Can't use it as a server for obvious reasons. Can't use it as a Home hub. Can't use it for web browsing, or as a smart home control panel... and I don't know anyone who would have a use for it. It's essentially a very smart paperweight.
Sometimes if they are both smokers and cannabis users you'll see spliffs (blunts of half tobacco half weed) generally to get a head change, a buzz, a high, and to save on costs.

But spliff smokers are in the minority in the US. Was more prevalent in the past when more people smoked tobacco.

Nowadays most people use carts / pens for cannabis use anyway.
No you can't use it for video and browsing.

You can't play video on it because Youtube/Netflix/Hbo + all other video apps don't work anymore on IOS9.

You can't browse the web because certificates don't work anymore in the browser.

I don't know why you guys are attacking me for proposing legislation and retiring my old iPad - i'm a techy with a 2014 macbook pro that has really tried finding a usecase for his my old 2. gen iPad lol, i use stuff for as long as possible.

Most regular non tech people won't be able to stretch their laptops life as long as i did, that's the problem.

What!? Some countries force you to state your marital and familial situations!? That’s insane. It’s illegal for companies in the US to ask about that stuff.

That said, some other people pointed out he had a military/aeronautical background, so height and health might come into play for certain jobs. That makes sense to me. You probably can’t work in the cockpit of a plane if you’re 7 feet tall.
This isn’t about normal mouse or not, after all the Magic Mouse IS and scrolls like a normal mouse, just with a touch-surface instead of a wheel.

It’s about the fact that in macOS it’s the content that scrolls, not the viewport. By moving your finger up on a touchpad you’re pushing the content up, and the wheel of a non-Apple mouse is a physical proxy of the content.

You may not like the decision, but in my opinion it makes a lot of sense, and I set the mouse to work like this even in Linux.

Yep. The wasm don't even have a primitive to access to its own executable. Let alone modification and cause RCE. Bound checking definitely have overheads so you wouldn't expect it to suit all workloads, but for most workload the trade-off would be probably acceptable. And it would probably enable a universal linux driver that runs independent to cpu arch.

A generous take is that Kanye uses many words in atypical ways. A neutral take is that Kanye is incoherent or trying to Andy Kaufmann his way out of the consequences of his actions/speech.

Good question! I am aware of it, do not love it though.

I have made peace with Google and privacy by carefully setting my account privacy settings, basically asking them to not store any of my data except for my music and YouTube history (I want good recommendations).

I am a heavy user of Colab and prefer GCP over AWS, and I buy books from Google Play because of family sharing. And I worked at Google in 2013.

I have read the major new books on privacy by Carissa Velez and Shoshana Zuboff and take privacy seriously but for me it is a value vs. costs thing.
Which country/region are these resumes from? I would be very surprised to see something like that on a U.S. or UK resume/CV. I know that it’s quite common for photos and personal details to be on CVs in parts of continental Europe though.
Corporate PR drones probably think it sound better than the words you used. Another dark pattern really.
That's harsh. I tend not to answer such questions, but I don't mind them being there, provided there's a "prefer not to say" option, which there nearly always is, or there's "Race: Other: human".
If running your own homeserver weren't so painful for some folks this might be a bit more addressable, but currently if you're in a few popular rooms it's going to make a monster of your digitalocean bill, and sucks to maintain.

Hint: the correct answer to this is not "Well there's your problem you're expecting to run it on Digital oc-" no, this attitude helps nobody. Like Picard said, make it so.
That's the salary. Now, you have employers costs, which will be much higher in socialistic countries in EU.

How do regular OS patches work with OpenCore Legacy Patcher? Do you have to go hoops to update OS for security / feature updates once you set it up?
The issue isn't entirely "how much you pay someone" but also a significant bit of "the supply chain for all of the parts are entirely within the city."

That supply chain part was traditionally a strong draw for electronics manufacturing to be done in China as you can get parts from down the street rather than the next city or state or country over.

Skipping the middleman doesn't solve any of these issues, except for the possibility that Tokenized Blockchain Corp is corrupt. So write an iron-clad contract with Tokenized Blockchain Corp regarding how your house is to be managed, and the courts will enforce it for you.
