That would only confuse an average Joe so don't have high hopes.

IMMSMW there was a program what would show which formats are available for the current content, but hell if I remember how it was called and was it a regular program or just an exercise in Win32 API. Maybe it was in Raymond Chen's blog.

But if you are interested you can probably write it yourself.[0]

ADD: there is such a program on codeproject [1] but it requires a registration to download the binary, so I can't vouch for it.

I never heard complaints, and my own experience was with the stuff they were wrapping up for my team just as I was hired. It was solid and we extended it further about a year later on our own without issue. (Organized code, including some plsql, tests, and some useful docs were left behind.) I could see the concept going south somewhere else though especially if they're more thrust upon teams that don't want them by upper management.
To be fair, they all tried their own crappy adapters that were the same as everything else but simply incompatible due to the design of the thing.

Apple's lightning connector was simply better than what others offered. They had a data connector that worked upside down. They solved an annoyance users had, which is why the thing was so popular. It then took other cell phone manufacturers three years to implement that.
Yeah, that's what I use. There's just no good reason not to Sherlock it; if not for the fact that every single Mac power user would expect Apple to bundle a crippled, simplified version, to "dumb it down for the masses". Sigh.
I would advise him to present his work to someone who could estimate the value if his research and suggest a kind if mentor at least or optimally a sponsor for visa. There happen to exist offers for positions of visiting student+researcher etc.

Think of humanity as your benevolent owner, like a hamster owning teenager. He will feed you, probably.
This post is just pure ignorance of what dd is about. Try messing around with operative systems and not just being the cool guy with a terminal and you'll see that dd is useful.

dd is pretty standard if you know it. Just because it isn't a standard to you, doesn't mean it isn't for everyone.

There are a lot of commands I don't use regularly that I saw once, which appeared strange to me. There were different way to do what tey did. Yet I didn't feel compelled to write a salty blog post about it.
Back when I started as a freelancer, I initially copied the 9-to-5 rhythm of „working“. That, despite having viewed this forced window of work as one of the biggest annoyances that come with a job.

Over time, I could overcome this „weird“ feeling of not sitting at my desk while working. It went quite a bit like the author describes:

- Load up on context and information.

- Start outlining the problem.

- When stuck, try for a while. If no progress is to be made, go for a walk, do laundry, buy groceries. Stuff _away_ from the computer.

- When potential solution inevitably form in my mind, write them down wherever I am.

I often find that when I arrive at potential
solutions this way, I’m usually a lot more motivated as opposed to banging my head against the wall. It’s not only more productive, it’s better for your mental and physical health, it keeps you engaged and satisfied with your work. Many times I simply cannot wait to return to the desk to try the ideas out.

It’s also important to know when to stop. Occasionally there are days where I can get nothing creative done. I have learned the hard way that when I force myself through, more often than not I mess something up so terribly that I need at least half a productive day following up, rectifying what I broke. It may feel like cheating yourself at first but sometimes it’s better to just stop for the day entirely.

However, while employed, have you tried to go out for an extended walk or do something else away from your computer, outside of the building you are required to work in? Deciding to do so without permission can get you a citation and asking for permission leads to blank stares from your co-workers and managers. For many, that’s apparently akin to asking for paid time off whenever you feel like it. The conclusion here can only be that many employers are more interested in owning your time than results, whether they realize this or not. Which brings us to a larger point about work culture and insistence on presence at all times but that’s a huge, separate discussion.
Not saying that publishing your salary isn't important, but for me the linked article sounds more like bragging and virtual signaling, like "I went from dishwasher to google developer, earning almost 700k/year but i gave up from everything to work with what I love.".. From $634k/year, to something like $34560/year? This makes 0 sense. If he would donate $400k/year to the cause that he wanted to help, would be much better for the cause and to his own familiy, than he investing 40 hours per month on that.
The thinkpad T series (igpu only) issues will eventually get fixed. Lenovo puts in some minimal effort to fix these issues; they are just slow. The usual advice with laptops is to give things a year or two. So being on slightly older hardware usually works.
Alternatively one can consider that fast adoption driven by marketing isn't a sign of best quality. Take a look at Java.
Uhh being in the linux kernel is "poor adoption" now, right.
I need a separate window.

My WFH environment I use every day has three screens stitched together for 7680x1440. On the left third is my primary remote desktop app that connects me to work with a window for my old desktop PC. The middle third has 320pixels reserved on the right for context-sensitve notes, then splits the rest in half with the left half being my timesheeting/ticketing app and the right half being a decent plain text editor as a scratch pad / diary combo. On top of that I have a set of tabbed windows (using Groupy) from various apps like a file manager, browser, Slack, email, or command prompt. The right third has the left 320 pixels reserved for a music player (Winamp), VOIP softphone, and clipboard manager. The rest of that portion is another set of tabbed windows usually at least including a second remote desktop session to my VDI and another browser window. My browser and command prompt are tabbed. My file manager is dual-pane and tabbed with a preview pane.

What you're describing sounds like what was tried and failed with Windows 8.
It's possible what you describe could be achieved by AI compositing. I.e. The AI creates a central view of what it believes is the most relevant info for your current task. This doesn't require any changes to the programs themselves.

Longer term, I think voice + AI assistants can help with this. In programming speak, our UX will become more declarative and less imperative. Combined with AR/VR interfaces, this will see a big improvement in productivity.
Aw sweet, Regolith is using i3, right? I've been using i3 for about a year now and just love it. So fast/effortless and completely out of the way. A simple i3bar for a bit of status stuff and it's like ... ahh, finally, that's all I ever wanted. :)
> Asbestos encapsulates a problem with society at large. We, unfortunately, are simply too binary in our thinking "Oh, asbestos causes cancer? We better purge it from everything everywhere".

There is actually a good reason for this: the slippery slope is not always a fallacy.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! I'll have a look over the weekend.
> Why would companies want to expose APIs in this manner?

They don't. But why would record companies want to license their music to streaming services instead of selling CDs?
If the AI is there, and it offers a superior experience to users, the companies that don't support it will disappear.

> this way, someone could just have their AI do these tasks in an automated way, without paying some company for the privilege.

You're assuming that APIs need to be free, but that doesn't need to be the case. Companies that provide data will need to charge for that, just like record companies charge Spotify when you stream music.

Companies that provide a service (Amazon, Uber etc) won't be happy that they lose marketing opportunities and brand recognition, but again, if the user experience is superior to the old app ways, those companies that don't adapt will die.
My personal experience is that I've been smoking more and more weed to get the same high or to get even higher than before. This in turn has led me to some nights where I thought about some truly scary things. Extreme paranoia. Suicidal thoughts even though I never had any before. It was shocking.

I'm now much more aware of what high THC dosage can do to a person if not careful. While some may find the OP's article as propaganda against weed, I find that it confirms a belief that I've discovered on my own: Smoking a lot of weed can be really dangerous psychologically.

Right now, I've restricted myself to only smoking the herb itself through a bong and a vape which reduce the intensity. No strong edibles. No wax. No dabs. No concentrates. And I only smoke with others as a social event, like social drinking.

Also, I recommend a month long break. It'll reset your tolerance so you don't need to consume more THC to get the same high as before.
Maybe the usecase for this 32GB pre-halloween box release is to run the dotnet stuff on an agnostic headless operating system at the edge fanning in FPGA sensor, actuator things. The next after ARM is RISCV. ARM has been done.
By introducing Research-to-Earn, Kryptview addresses one of the biggest challenges in the crypto space nowadays: overcome the fragmentation and lack of transparency of information on tokens.

A generous interpretation of the title might be that the author is only writing about those for whom dd is so ingrained in their style that they use it where another command would be more natural, hence they're "cultish".
I do think China will try to push own proprietary tech, but so far similar attempts have never succeeded. Probably won’t succeed on chips either.
Sounds more like they either were hung-up on formal hierarchies ("Steve's not my boss, what's the benefit to getting him involved?"), or just didn't have a good answer for what they were accomplishing, or both.
Is Javascript in Linux kernel an end?
These people going for walks, taking showers, napping and solving problems: I don’t have this experience. Instead for me it is using pen and paper that does it for me. And it seems more efficient to have a computer nearby to browse code or docs while I do it. Breaks are helpful for maintaining energy but not for eurekas. But I agree that if walks make you more productive and you are thinking about work then that is actual work.
he could invest 50% or more of his salary in this work via donation and it would probably help the cause much more than his 40 hours/week. It sounds more like a middle life crisis to me.
I think the only problem with this is that that Apple permanently switched to higher resolution screens, text looks awful at 1080p since Apple dropped font anti aliasing. High DPI screens are a requirement.
Thank you for this comment, I will continue to share articles in this area since I am also passionate about it
Installing minikube etc in MacOS is just doing it the hard way

Install a linux vm and do k8s there, not on MacOS.

(not to mention you can do without k8s for most of development, I don't know why people like making their lives harder)

That's unfair to FTL and the advancement of rogue-likes and perhaps more importantly, rogue-lites.

It's not just "permadeath", there's also the seeding and randomness of each game . (No-one would argue that Super Mario is a rogue-like).

Additionally, and while this is stretched to some degree in games like Hades, there's the discrete-time based nature of the games compared to a game like Isaac for instance.

Then with rogue-lites there's also a layering of meta-progression on top of the game loop progression.

Saying that roguelikes are "just" permadeath is misrepresenting the genre entirely.

And the nature of words is that you might conclude that rogue isn't necessarily the quintessential rogue-like game, but that's okay.
It seems to me that they bumped the major version for every breaking change in the changelog. I guess that is in strict compliance with semantic versioning but indeed it looks strange.
Yes! Just that regolith has all the sane defaults and i3bar and rofi bundled in, and serves as a good starting point if you haven't used i3 before.
The web interface loads but is unable to connect.

Despite your high school level of understanding of what is socialism and capitalism that seems to be formed from nothing more than knowledge from watching TV news, very happy for you that you make money from it.

Still, if you want to force me to do absolutely anything on a project I maintain myself and for fun, feel free to pay me extremely well. My employer does so and gets my work, the price doubles for anything done on my free time.
As a matter of fact, at least here in Germany a lot of cathedrals took decades, some even centuries to build - the Cologne Cathedral, for example, took way over six hundred years. Additionally, they were often built in "batches" and expanded and modified, schedule pretty much depending on some emperor or volunteer donations providing enough funds for the next section.

Me and my s/o, who actually studied a lot of the German cathedrals for her master's degree, went on a tour across a lot of the cathedrals this summer with the 9-euro flat train ticket... it's utterly amazing what medieval people could pull off. If you're interested in old buildings, wait until the successor of the 9-euro ticket comes next summer and go on a trip yourself, it's definitely worth it.
MacOS still uses a MDI paradigm.
I miss Apple's confidence in their OS design. System 6 - Mac OS 8 (maybe even 9) are so similar in design, like all they really did for 7 and 8 was add a bit of shading/depth. Seriously, here's a screenshot of System 4 "Open File" dialog vs. Mac OS 9's "Open File" dialog:

Dating apps end up mostly being used for casual dating and hookups. The closest thing to that for average or below average guys is prostitution, which of course has been around a while and much money was and is being made.
Given how much memory we have available these days, would we build it the same way? Having copy paste usually work outta the box everywhere might be more valuable than memory savings.

Sidebar: I do at this point use a copy paste history app anyways that saves and plain text-ifies everything.
Why would they want to avoid it in the first place?

My theory is that they just want to wait for the legislation so that this very minor change that may upset part of the userbase can be blamed on the EU squarely, and they are okay either way (nigh every other device they manufacture are using usb-c)
You missed a nuance in the GP's problem set:

> dd if=random-linux-image.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 count=62499 seek=1 skip=1

is not the same as:

> sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/boot.1 bs=512 count=1

You are missing the "seek" and "skip" arguments which the GP challenges you to make `head` do.
Wild, seeing SemVer actually used properly.
It also does slightly more stuff than apt (maybe unnecessarily)
While I agree with the overall point, that view of airport security and drug control being ineffective shows the power of Hollywood propaganda than valid points supporting the issue of the human condition.

One only has to look at places that value such measures to see they DO work.

Israeli airports for example or Singapore's drug policies. Both of which employ draconians measures to ensure effectiveness but they do boast success rates.

I'll say policies lose effectiveness when the populace don't value it or when the neighborhood has powerful bad actors that oppose it, like trying to reinforce gun laws in Canada.

You might end up locked up or otherwise inconvenienced. You have less rights than you might think in situations like that. Leave the laptop at home or wipe it before you leave. Same with phones. They can't take what isn't there.
Apple also is part of that group and also accepted USB-C. It’s not like their ipads for several years now wouldn’t be using it.
Yes, I agree. I'm working on a Rails project today and the container in development has some gems we only use for development and testing: byebug, pry, rspec, timecop, simplecov, factory_bot. They won't go into the production images. The instructions for developers are

docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm api bundle
docker-compose up

api is the name of the service in docker-compose.yml

One developer has a M1 Mac and he's using something called mutagen instead of docker. His docker-compose.yml is a little different and he's paying a performance penalty. His M1 is only 50% faster than my Intel from 2014 at running the test suite (50 seconds vs 75.) The difference is not noticeable when running only a few tests per time when working on a single feature.
Here is what he needs to do.
If he is a good mobile developer and knows English to pass an interview, first thing he should find a good-paying remote job. Couple of good places to start with are workatastartup.com and linkedin. Once he lands a remote position, he should spend couple of months to learn the company and workstyle and make himself comfortable with his job duties.
After that he could easily find several hours a week for his research. Considering the fact he has no dependants, he should be able to do the work, do his research and generally live pretty decent life.

Main goal for him should be securing his life first (food, place to live) and only after that he can think about reaching his goals.
