France and Germany recently agreed to help each other over the winter. While France will provide gas to Germany, Germany will provide electricity to France (the country with all these nuclear reactors ;-0)

Regarding the "return on investment" nuclear power is way more expensive than other forms of energy, if you add the (hidden) cost of storage and disposal of nuclear waste. Which could have been known for a long time, cf.

We give too much information away. Companies have shown that they are incapable of keeping the information private anyway. We get big scandals, the interwebs kick up a big stink, brows are furrowed, and then we go back to doing what we did before with nobody learning anything.

I'd say it's a lot better since it doesn't do unknown things with your address book. It actually doesn't do any unknown things and the fact that they're US based is irrelevant since they have nothing to give away thanks to E2EE.

Same, and even though I've tried them later on, I can't get into 'true' rogue games.

That said, elements of the game(s) are now found in a ton of popular games; a big one nowadays is Hades, which is a roguelite in that the levels are only semi-random, but it has a high replayability value, even when you make it to 'the end'.

There's other games out there that just use procedural / semi-random generation; Diablo and Diablo 2 were big 20 years ago, Bloodborne was big 5ish years ago and they're still making discoveries in the randomized dungeons (with some number manipulation though, has to be said), etc.
coffeescript fell out of use because ES6 brought like 90% of the benefits of cofeescript and added a few more things. One of the few things that coffeescript still had going for it was the different syntax that a lot of people like (identation-based blocks, no curly braces, etc)

As always pragmatism won and ES6 thrived, but Coffeescript still had a few things that ES6 didn't have. My favourite feature is "everything is an expression" so you can do something like this:

eldest = if 24 > 21 then "Liz" else "Ike"

see:
http://coffeescript.org/#expressions

this comes from Lisp and makes a lot of things easier. Obviously this was not implemented in ES6 because it would break compatibility and there is also some problems with implicit returns that made the feature a bit weird

I wonder if a syntax like this for JS would work:

const eldest = if (24>41) { escape "Liz" } else { escape "Ike" }

with "escape" working like a mix of "break" and "return". But even then this is likely to cause incompatibilities
Having worked at two start-ups, I agree. I think the "we are all one happy family" is directly driving the "we cannot come to decissions". Both are driving me crazy at the moment.
> Yet, as rare as it might be, there are people of both genders who actually enjoy receiving unsolicited nudes. And people who enjoy sexual pickup lines. The judgement call of what is/isn't going to be attractive or appropriate ought be to left in the hands of the individuals dating as much as possible rather than controlled by a priest at a tech company.

I don't understand. Are you suggesting that Bumble should allow users to send unsolicited nudes to strangers, despite the vast majority of women not appreciating that? Why would any company want to intentionally degrade the experience of roughly half their users?

This is particularly true if you use external audio hardware. Will it work? Has Apple changed something underneath that stops the drivers loading? Do I need to buy the software again to use it reliably (eg. Parallels)?

I ended up ditching macos after over a decade of use and going back to Linux running Ubuntu Mate with a macos theme and switching to Windows for my audio hardware since I want to still use the same hardware longer than the 3 years Apple considers a "lifetime". It's kept my 2012 Macbook in service and maybe I'll get another 10 years out of it!

Hello. I am rational developer. I am very clever and very rational. Devoid of emotion. Oh what is this? The pixels in my screen have changed. What is this bubbling feeling in me? An emotional response? No way. I am rational. Therefore these changes must be objectively stupid and dumb and wrong. Let me explain why.

This is how I understand all these posts. It’s fine not to like something. You don’t even need a good reason. That is what taste is all about. Just don’t pretend that your emotional response is grounded in objective and universal fact.

Am I being facetious? Not really. Calling a benign (and in my view long overdue) update to the settings panel “a fucking joke” is nothing but an emotional screech.

Meh you probably are if you're like me, a nobody.

Most non targeted viruses will just wait for you to copy paste some crypto private keys or credit card numbers, or encrypt your files and ask for a ransom. Hackers just want money and it's honestly a numbers' game.

Most tech people who use crypto use a hardware wallet, most banks today will get you your money back (although the merchant ends up losing money if not insured) + you can just limit your card spending if not planning a big buy, and ransomware is a non issue for me since I keep everything important on a couple external disks.

Now if you work at a big corporation you probably have a work pc that's kept updated and where you face the same security issues as anyone else.

And if you're a journalist or brag about the millions you made in bitcoin on twitter then you become targeted for more sophisticated attacks.

>tech people who think if you do X then you're totally safe

Most tech people who think this aren't in a cricical enough position to worry about something more than a keylogger or ransomware, but if you're a network engineer at Google and think this then you shouldn't be working there.
You're correct, there is no support for directly running non-ARM VMs.
I mean, if the people that write the code don't skip it, I don't see the issue. The code in the source tree is supposed to be safe, so you might as well not do borrow checking and whatever other safety stuff you have.

We don't need to completely disrupt the current institutions, when they are functional and work in the interests of the people. Quite the opposite, when they are functional they are more efficient (time- and resource-wise) than any decentralized system.

The three fundamental ideas of my PhD came to while:

1.) Sitting in a park sketching solutions on a notebook.

2.) Laying at the beach on vacation.

3.) Playing Legos with my daughter.

Without these ideas, I doubt there would've even been a PhD, or even a paper publication.

(There was a period of 2 years in my life where I did not have any significant ideas, at all. During that time, I was employed at a company which offered a constant stream of urgent TODO emails and tickets. I worked until exhaustion for 2 years, but did not get any work done.)

As an Australian, I’m fucking livid these fucks think they have the right to fuck around with my use of the word fuck.

I am sure it’s low in the Silicon Valley. Here in NZ - we are the highest paid tech juniors I know off. Most offer around 60k NZD.

Need to remove your US bias. However - the whole point of transparent is that everyone knows.

If the salary is low for you, you will never apply. But you know exactly what you’ll be paid, and know it’s the same as everyone else doing the same role/level.

That is the benefit to being transparent - it doesn’t have to be the highest paid, it’s simply fair. equal and transparent.

Works great in itself, however, PostgreSQL version upgrade is quite hustle. It's plug-in area, though could have some protocol with the core to make it seamless. I didn't upgrade my postgres for a while (on 12.4 right now).

Not sure if it still requires you to do:

`POSTGRES_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--with-openssl LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" asdf install postgres x.x`

And run `pg_upgrade` yourself moving data from previous version to the new one's directory.
I would disagree with this.

Mac Mail is probably the worst application I've used on Mac (+ the one on the iOS is not far behind). Search is atrocious - like unusably so, it constantly has syncing issues (even with iCloud) when trying to get new mail, it's incredibly slow, and I don't care for the design.

Much better in that it is open source (so you can audit the e2ee), and it does a lot about metadata. It is actually better at protecting metadata than many decentralized alternatives.

Nobody said it was perfect. It's just better.
> These things do fail on linux

The only data point I have, is my non-technical partner, who has had far fewer issues since moving to linux than on windows. It's a data point of n=1, and I'm not sure if I'd recommend it for everyone.

I was more than happy to recommend it for her since I know if there is any issue she has, I'll be able to solve it quickly and easily. The fact is though after throwing a standard ubuntu system on the machine I don't think she's had any issues past the first week or two of figuring out where the settings were, and what program does what.

There might have been the odd libre office question maybe?

The fact is, I'm pretty much the family tech support. My linux "support burden" is far lower than my windows "support burden" was when she used that (both in frequency, and for me, complexity). I still get a fair few macOS or iphone questions from my parents from time to time, but almost never things about linux.
I don’t think there’s a status page for WhatsApp, but Meta has this for the business side of things: https://metastatus.com/whatsapp-business-api
So? Is that not possible? Maybe Zuck is just thinking of a 10+ year timeline, but people (you?) expect The Matrix, now!
I find phone numbers awesome because you actually "own" them to some degree. (i.e. you can take your number to a new provider). Moving to a different messenger app with the same phone number means I can at least still find some of my network there. Only email on your own domain would have that feature.

I don't really care if they sell my phone number, it's already out there, I don't consider it private data anymore.
WhatsApp actually uses signal protocol for e2ee
I agree with you about all of these. To get a little more specific:

>Command+tab problem scenario

You have to use control + arrow key here. I completely agree that this is an annoyance though, and have mostly stopped making my apps full screen because of it.

>Problem scenario 1

Agreed. Ironically, I might consider full-screening or minimizing the window I don't want to loop over xD

>Problem scenario 2

Agreed again. And again, there's control + arrow key.

>Problem scenario 3

Command+` no longer works, but if you hover over the app you want while in the command+tab screen, and then press the down-arrow-key, you can select which window you want to open, and this includes minimized windows. I actually have never used this and just found out about it because your scenario made me curious.
>I haven't had to pay for SMS in the last decade. Even roaming is free in the EU too.

Whether you pay for SMS or not depends on your telco. Regarding roaming, let's say that you pay the same you'd pay if you were in your country if you leave the country, but you still pay different rates if you try to call or text someone from another country (whether you are roaming or not)

>Do we live in divergent Europe timelines or something?

Despite what the propaganda may have lead you to think, life in Europe is very different depending on your country.

The issue is not with players categorizing a game as a roguelike (or not), it’s developers categorizing their game as a marketing tactic. The way discovery works on a platform such as Steam, developers are incentivized to tick as many boxes as possible on the genre list in order to get their game seen by as many players as possible. In effect, this self-categorization lets developers dilute the meaning of genre labels in order to make money.

Roguelike just happened to be one of the genre labels with a long-standing and passionate community. Now the community members are everywhere speaking out against this dilution. This is not gatekeeping — anyone is welcome to play roguelikes — it’s preservation of the genre’s distinctiveness.
I guess that made sense when the standard HDD block size was 512b. Then it went to 512/4kb then pure 4kb, not sure what SSD's do maybe also 4kb? Experimenting with speeds and block sizes in the past has shown very quickly diminishing returns increasing the block size. As long as the CPU can keep the queue depth over 1 the device should be flat out.
I find collaborative debugging to be quite powerful. Whether it's duck debugging your own code or working with other people to solve a problem that isn't of your own making.

It doesn't mean you are stuck in a room but it does mean updating people on what you've found out and asking the questions that come into your mind. Very often someone else comes up with an idea that advances the state of knowledge until the bug is solved. What happens when you don't know all you need to know to solve a problem? Sometimes you have to involve other people.

As for "is looking out of the window work" well yes of course it can be and you do need to be alone to think often.

I just feel that when I'm stuck in my own perspective and not moving forward much, it can help to get someone else's just as it can help to do some totally different thing and come back at the problem freshly.

Why not use a video native tool like ffmpeg ? I'm unclear on what the advantage of dd is here.

It's probably a bit counter-intuitive for the "if its not broke don't fix it" crowd. But lifting the rug and revisiting ideas is pretty central to how they operate over there.

The logic probably follows that if they were developing these settings panels anew, would they be different from one another, or should they be the same. Somewhere along the line they've realised keeping things consistent inside their ecosystem is simpler for their users, and the reasons for keeping them different are outweighed by the advantages of having them operated similarly.

This might be hard to believe, but I find some people are confused merely by the iOS app being called "Settings" and the macOS app being called "System Preferences". One is a hang over from earlier mac days and the other is a simple one word title that describes the app succinctly. It's not a surprise that they're both named Settings now, similar to how macOS and iOS apps have been slowly getting renamed for consistency (e.g. Address Book becoming Contacts.)

I think people also forget that it takes quite a bit of work to rejig apps, especially ones this central to the OS - so it's not exactly something I would describe as a lazy effort, even if it does produce more manageable code in the long term, which of course has invisible user benefits such as less bugs and faster deployment of security fixes.
