Agree with a lot of these points. It's wild to me that the brightness keys are nonfunctional (unless you sacrifice the ambient light sensor) and there's no ETA on a fix. Random freezes and graphical issues aren't fun either.

Another annoyance is weird handling of non-integer scaling on Linux. It's not great on Windows, but I don't need to dig into config files for most apps or use one off launch arguments.
I can use my iphone as a webcam now? This is great, I can just get rid of my actual webcam which is hot garbage anyway.
My ability to accidentally hit Command-Q instead of Command-Tab, even after years of doing it astounds me. You'd think muscle memory, or at least the size of the keys would give my fingers and brain a clue, but nope. Some apps will give you quit prompts but many just disappear instantly, leaving me befuddled about what the hell I just did.

I assume some Chrome product manager is as clumsy as I am (bless their heart), so it will insist you hold down the Q key. If only that was the default.

Not sure where you live, but everywhere I lived does not accept these into recycling - so I assume these don't account for what the commenter was saying.
Alibaba cloud supporting this effort with developer hours is a smart play. Migrating away from Western-controlled technologies (the complicated story of ARM
China notwithstanding) is a good political play. I would wager that an independant and further-developed China will before too long start to push their own propietary systems once their chip and software industries approach American maturity.

That aside, oh how I love seeing open source thrive, regardless of the reason.
I’d say first quarter of next year. Hopefully with a beta sooner than that.
Insects are most attracted to UV, but they’re attracted to most of the visible (to human) spectrum.

Just less so, which is why the recommendation is to use “warm” led to minimize insect attraction.

Also, light usage hasn’t remained constant. LED’s lower power usage means that it enables more lighting, including solar powered (day charged) landscaping lights.

So whereas owners would formerly only have one or two lights at low watts before, the reduced energy usage means that they sprinkle in another magnitude more with LED.
Not OP but offering perspective: I've tried it and it's so painfully slow that I just coughed up the money for parallels.

I jumped on the upgrade bandwagon quickly this morning and the entire upgrade took about 15 minutes on my M1 MBP 13".

Presumably, you're experiencing the same download issues my work MBP is experiencing. It's been downloading for over an hour and is just barely past 50%. My Internet bandwidth is 10G real-world and un-busy, so presumably Apple's CDN is getting hit good.
UK's oldest human DNA obtained, revealing two distinct Palaeolithic populations
I see where you are coming from.

Windows has great window management = less chaos, less orphan open windows
Mac OS has inferior window management = chaos, hundreds of open windows

The main reasons stems from the fact that Windows open window discoverability is higher. Open windows are always displayed in the menu bar. MacOS only displays the app icon but provides no information about the open windows except for pressing F3.

I hope that answer makes sense.
I don't know Syrus nor Wasmer :)

However, I'm genuinely interested - why would this make Kubernetes obsolete? If Wasm rules the future, as you believe, why shouldn't it run in a pod?
Summary

"The first genetic data from Palaeolithic human individuals in the UK -- the oldest human DNA obtained from the British Isles so far -- indicates the presence of two distinct groups that migrated to Britain at the end of the last ice age, according to new research. Published today in Nature Ecology and Evolution, the new study by UCL Institute of Archaeology, the Natural History Museum and the Francis Crick Institute researchers reveals for the first time that the recolonisation of Britain consisted of at least two groups with distinct origins and cultures."
Funny that this is a query where Postgres can famously and singularly be very fast.
Fun fact, Andrzej Sapkowski only specified a few characters' skin color when it was important to note that they were from the same region as Geralt of Rivia. Otherwise, the only big note is that Zerrikanians have sun-blackened skin (as in deep black like you'd find in many parts of central Africa). Everything else is basically just commentary on hair styles and especially hair dyes. Very little time is spent in his books discussing natural hair colors or skin color with the exception of people very far to the north, Geralt, and the Zerrikanians. In interviews back before the video games were made, (I'm going to paraphrase here), he basically said that the skin colors and hair colors were as diverse if not more diverse than Earth and because of the ease of travel for anyone aided by magic users, you could expect to find tons of diversities in any of the cities and even in large towns. As for the magic users and witchers, they'd be as diverse as the world itself as they were trained from all parts of the world.
> Of course, as you’ve probably surmised, the song isn’t really about the color film. It’s a thinly veiled satire aimed at the communist regime by the artist, toying with everything from the regime’s attempts to pass its citizens’ lives as being nice to Western audiences to the drabness of communist Germany.

That's not entirely truthful, though? The artist said that the song complained about the drabness of life in socialist East Germany and being confronted with the economy of scarcity (making a color film hard to replace if you forgot to bring it) even present in the moments you escape it (by travelling to places with nicer scenery). But the entire jab at "the regime's attempts" and "Western audiences" seems to be conjecture on the part of the author and isn't in the interview they seem to be referencing.

Also for the record, the artist has somewhat disowned the song because the song's writer was a child abuser and rapist. Another piece of knowledge largely lost to time.

I think the author is a bit too invested in seeing the song in an American Cold War context that doesn't match the experiences of those in divided Germany for whom the Cold War was more about two equally untrustworthy superpowers threatening their annihilation over inconsequential power plays and engaging on continuous proxy wars.

It reads almost like the author thinks Merkel is weeping over memories of how she suffered under the East German government when in reality 2020 alone had plenty of reasons for her to feel sad and the song represents a tiny act of polite rebellion at the end of a reign that culminated in her watching powerless over federal ministers making decisions she disagreed with but would receive the blame for.
Sad thing is, we're probably gonna repeat our horrible colonial history, but with space ships.
1 - The instruction set is more interesting because it is smaller.

2 - Arm also implements weak ordering which is type of memory model. It allows instructions to be separated into groups based on whether they affect other instructions. This allows these groups to skip some waiting lines. (Magic). X86 has strong ordering, which can make it slower in specific scenarios.
It's kind of incredible how we can basically document our entire development process and people still go "it's a Kickstarter scam"

This is true, on average having an edge will be faster, but it is not a panacea for latency, especially if you don't move non-trivial QPS from every region.
My [further] advice is to not bury key elements of your product in a FAQ, but find a way to communicate it through your marketing copy.
I'm a pretty senior engineer. I've never been promoted at a company. I've never even received a substantial raise. It's also not like I wasn't doing the things they wanted.

If you're pretty senior, try moving every 3-5 years. If you're less than that try to stick out a year. There's exceptions, but honestly just be able to talk about why you did it.

For instance, when I got out of the military I was chronically underpaid in tech during a time when it was okay for companies to ask my previous salary while also being from the South where techies make substantially less than average. I left companies once a year for nearly four years. They knew what the deal was, they were getting a deal on my talents but knew I wasn't passionate about their stuff.
Hrm. 404's at the moment.

It keeps your applications in a small (i.e fast) cache, so it's more or less instant when using it as an app finder.

I think it, yes, uses the Spotlight index for finding files, although I wouldn't be surprised if Alfred does some clever stuff on top of it too.
YES, I always look for length of employment on a resume. If someone is consistently only at a place for a year, to me that looks bad. I don't want to go through all this work hiring someone only to have them leave in a year.
Yeah, as another fairly technical Framework owner, my experience was basically 100% the same as the author's.

Are you on wayland? This is my first wayland experience (if you don't count the Steam Deck), and it was mostly seamless only after upgrading to the latest KDE, which disables scaling for Xwayland programs.

Firefox still requires a janky workaround for wayland though, but as I understand it, wayland-based setups depend strongly on what the compositor implements (in my case, Kwin I think).
If I see more than 2 or more short positions (<=2y) I just bin the CV. Mistakes can happen, but more than 2 is a red flag for me. With the exception of being a real contractor, but this is sometimes difficult to say from CV if it was a real fixed time contract (e.g. quite common in UK), or just tax saving arrangement (common in Poland).

Also at least one long position is a bonus, shows the person will stay given the right circumstances.
You've clearly not even read the article.
The Chinese used practically slave labour to sift through US garbage before they ended the imports. 'Recycling' was a euphemism for offshoring garbage whether plastic bottles or solar panels, but now the Chinese have tightened their standards.

The short answer is yes. (1)

Optical saves a heck of a lot of power, and is obviously much faster than copper, so that's the way it's all going.

The longer answer requires reliable and appropriately sized/cost transceivers to get the data back to electrical to match the speed of the optical, and those are going to be a while coming, and this tech is still in the lab.

At the top end subsea cables have very high cost and traditionally bulky transceivers, and it's all about data volume, not switching.

At the other end of the scale is inside the data centre, where most switching needs to occur, there is a move towards optical interconnections and co-packaged switches. (1 and 2)

In addition to the problems mentioned there, the sandbox capability is deficient; there does not seem to be any reasonable way to do things such as:

- Dealing with non-Unicode text (including file names).

- Running external user-specified programs by pipes (popen), and/or user-specified dynamic libraries.

- Sandboxed X resource manager access and X toolkit intrinsics.

- Because it uses systemd, all of the problems of systemd also apply.

The design of D-Bus is also full of problems.

I do not use a desktop environment on my computer, and I should not need one. Programs should not need to draw their own window decorations. There are other issues, too (some of which are mentioned on the web page about the security problems). GTK also has many problems.

The blue "sandboxed" icon is not very good if it does not elaborate the specifics of the sandboxing (and, ideally, should allow user customization of the sandbox settings).

The system should not make it difficult for programs to be used together. Unfortunately, many programs do (although I try to fix this; use of user-specified commands with popen is one thing that should help, but some things will just need much of the existing designs to be corrected or entirely replaced).
Windows does frequent incremental updates and makes them pretty painless, but has a bad habit of just letting the installation files pile up and fill your storage. If you or your PC supplier have the habit of having a small-medium boot disk (or partition) for just your OS and applications this can yield unwelcome surprises.
These are the worst. My campus had them lining the boulevard, and every autumn the air would reek like vomit.

It really does seem that Microsoft is now in the business of trolling its users. The degradation of "Pro" with ads and uninstallables (like frikking Xbox) is beyond disgusting. When a post mortem of its lost os dominance is done in the (hopefully near) future, I have a feeling that these anti patterns will features prominently. Edit: I'm sorry for your loss.

Ricken is a character from Severance who writes a book of profound sounding nonsense.

I addressed why both were relevant. Your argument now is different from your initial argument. And "abstract concepts only have the power we give them" is the kind of pap we feed to others to give ourselves license to keep using shitty abstract concepts.
After finally purchasing RimWorld, I don't see the point in playing most other games. The vanilla game is incredible, but with mods and scenario customizations I can basically create any kind of top down game I want: start a game playing it one way (super peaceful like the Sims) and flip on a zombie mod once I get bored.
I jumped companies every few years early in my career but have been at a megacorp for over 20 years now. In that time I've done vastly different types of projects so that also needs to be a consideration. At a large company with a varied product spectrum you can not only work on different types things you can also change job descriptions or even get a new degree and completely change what you do.
Long live Wasm indeed! Obviously we feel a bit differently about Docker and k8s being in the past — Docker is used by 68% of professional developers according to the latest SO survey[0], and k8s is still growing in popularity at 28%. But obviously the technology landscape changes rapidly, and maybe one day (we hope) Wasm will be at 28%, 68% or higher. We’re frankly just excited about the possibilities, and wanted to help along the way :)

Its less about the instruction set and more about the specific implementation choices and market they're competing in. Apple has been doing ARM SoC design for a long time and was an early 64-bit adopter, buys tons of bleeding-edge capacity from fabs, and is willing to design in more expensive features like tons of onboard cache that they can make up on margins in other ways because Apple sells complete devices, while Qualcomm etc are mostly in the business of selling chips. So while there are fundamental differences between x86 and ARM, the bigger differences are more "Apple vs other ARM SoC designers" than something fundamentally different about ARM that Apple takes advantage of.

In terms of CO2 per unit energy burning plastic is much worse than burning natural gas (and much much worse than any zero carbon source). Energy is fungible, there's no reason to encourage producing CO2 when it's possible not to.

What percentage of in-house crud apps have errors?
Oh! I thought of another peak frustration, iOS this time. Years ago when you toggled off WiFi and Bluetooth via the swipe-down control center it disabled the radios at the hardware level. I like this because wifi and bluetooth have become de-facto tracking technologies now.

Now it only "disconnects" for 24 hours. This is because Apple wants your Bluetooth and Wifi on for aiding in maps and the FindMy network etc. It is intentionally misleading and they won't even add a Settings toggle for something like "Control center radio toggles turn off the hardware". You have to go into Settings and then into each WiFi and BT and toggle the radio off there.
Vegan. Grow much of my own food (mill my own flour, etc.). I lived without electricity or running water for most of a decade '00s (and only added a small DC only solar system for electric lighting for the rest of that decade). I continue to maintain a small footprint, but electric lighting, refrigeration, heat in the winter and hot and cold running water are pretty great (hot and cold running water is fucking amazing!), and I don't want to give those up again. But, none of that matters as much as my being a US citizen. The US military has CO2 emissions larger than 140 countries combined. My share of those US military emissions made my carbon footprint very high throughout the 00's in spite of near zero personal emissions. Presently, the US pushing for sanctions on Russia, led to much higher carbon footprint LNG being shipped to Europe to replace Russian pipeline gas (US oligarchs are making a killing selling LNG, though). Etc.

If everyone, in the developed world, made similar personal choices, to the two of us, things would be better, but it would still be insignificant compared to US policy decisions like the massive US military perpetually deployed across the world. And, if the entire world's population was able to share in hot and cold running water, heat in the winter, electric lighting, refrigeration, etc., much of those gains from personal choices of westerners would be negated.

I don't know the answer. Yes, a lot of people need to reduce their waste, and share with the rest of humanity and non-human life. But, it will not be enough-- somehow we must change governmental and corporate policies.

As things currently stand, the average American has near zero impact on policy decisions[1]. While our rich and powerful elites are driving us off a cliff. The change we need will not be led by them, but in the current climate, a revolution, in the US, is highly unlikely, and if it were to happen would likely result in an extreme far-right authoritarian/theocratic regime even more extreme than the individual enrichment at any cost, "drill baby drill," right to far-right regime that currently rules. And, the US currently controls much of the world (see all western nations observing US illegal sanctions against 1/4-1/3 of the worlds population and also providing support for recent US illegal wars of aggression). Maybe the rise of China will save us, if the US elites do not lash out in desperation to maintain power and e.g., cause a nuclear holocaust. But, pinning hopes of halting environmental destruction on China is a slim hope.

It is difficult to not lose hope.

Protein + Veg only. Hello, meatless monday.
This is the short and correct description of what recycling is.

It is a distraction so the packaging industry can fill the earth with garbage whilst we feel OK about it.

I'm so deeply indoctrinated to believe the recycling lie that I continue to sort my garbage despite believing it all just gets dumped into landfill.
Is it? I mean really "unacceptable"? Inconvenient, perhaps, but "unacceptable"? Sounds pretty first-worldy to me...
From many deep dives into nutrition research, I'm willing to bet it doesn't matter that much unless your diet is extreme. Is your diet a small amount of seed oils from time to time? Probably fine. Are you trying to replace all other fats with seed oils? Probably not a good idea.

Michael Pollan's dietary rules[1] are pretty good and applicable. Eat a varied diet and, most importantly, don't overeat any single thing and don't overeat in general.

This is just one of those "awesome" lists.

Recently I've been looking through them including the self hosted one and I suspect about 10-20% are in fact ads basically paid product placement. Usually can't even be self hosted just a paid service for an instance. That's not self hosting.

A decent chunk are not practically selfhostable. I mean not for a mere mortal. Like those guys who seem to run synapse on a rpi3. Everyone else needs dual core with 6gb RAM. Again I wonder if those people actually even used the self hosted version?

Am I still ranting? Guess I had more to say than I realised.
Kinda depends on what you do and where you do it.

Unfortunately, most middle management in most companies stopped caring, hide behind processes and would like to treat employees as commodity. And most upper management are either powerless or uninformed and in most cases both. And both would prefer to use any budget increase to hire new employees rather than compensate the ones they already have.

As to software engineers, over the years of interviewing (but also changing jobs myself) I changed my attitude.

My new thinking is that if the company does not value staying loyal when their engineers are quickly getting experience and increasing their value on the job market, when changing job is the only option to get your salary corrected to reflect your market realities, then I cannot fault the person for changing jobs rapidly.

So rather than penalise people for being disloyal, I am asking probing questions, dig a bit into their explanations, the types of projects they were working on, and see if their progression and explanations check out.
