Battery vendors generally recommend you do not keep them on a charger all the time since the charger will keep it at 100% charge, and the longer a battery is at 100% charge, the more degradation it will experience for electro-chemical reasons. Sooner or later, that can lead to battery swelling and eventually a catastrophic thermal runoff.

Additionally, keeping a laptop shut and running usually messes with its thermal design as the heat can't escape to the top via the keyboard, further heating up the battery.
Sounds dramatic, i get that the consequence is unacceptable(not able to login to a social network), but not sure it deserves the drama. I’m not trying to be insesitive.
The signature would be needed when the bank says "you have no money" even though I should have, due to their ancient COBOL systems breaking, fraud, whatever.

How would I prove to a court that I do have money if I only have easily forge-able unsigned PDFs?

Now before you say this is unlikely, ask yourself this:

Would you lend thousands of dollars to a regular person without ANY signed document from them which says they owe you the money?

No, right?

Then why would I do that with a bank?

If they get that much money from me they ought to at least give me a kind-of unforgeable document which says the money is mine.

> We all imagine that our problems are unique and other disciplines don't have them. Software estimation is so special that no one outside of CS can possibly contribute to it.

Software development is special in that, by virtue of it involving automation, each estimation is largely unprecedented.

If you are estimating how long it might take to build a house, you have a wealth of precedent on which to base your estimate to ensure you are at least in the ballpark.

Perhaps the house will be founded on a sinkhole and you will have to start over or there may be a lumber shortage when obtaining the supplies for the house, but you at least have a reference for a similar process that went well in the past to know what your own endeavor ought to resemble.

If you are estimating how long it might take to automate a task (presumably a task that has never before been automated, hence the need to automate it in the first place) you are, relatively speaking, blazing a new trail. It seems possible to me that "accurately estimate the time required to complete this software" is the halting problem promoted to a management position.

It makes no sense for these young workers to come. I know people from Eastern Europe use to come to work in UK because even the low cost labor was enough for them to get some money for back home, but the neighboring countries have a much higher cost of living than Eastern Europe, so it is economically not attractive. Also moving permanently to UK is not attractive for a bunch of reasons, from weather to weird laws. Did you know more people are arrested yearly in UK for posting online on social media than in Iran?
People are slowly coming to the realisation that there is no "open dialogue", no "marketplace of ideas". You've been had.

The reality is that when you're in power, you can use words in whichever way you want. This is what power means. Only now has is become so obvious that people can't help but notice.
Yes, I did read this. It was more a comment in appreciation of the humour of that opening. I suppose it makes sense if you take "every now and then" to be every few years rather than every few weeks, but it still sounded funny.
Yep. One thing I noticed on a recent plane trip (my first since the pandemic began) was that practically all of the food options involved ordering and paying via tablet or online (assisted by QR code). Front staff just had to bring the food, no time spent taking orders or doing the payment dance. I've seen this trend increasing in non-airport settings too, but it seems to have reached an apex there. Also saw a delivery bot trundling along the sidewalk in Madison, so that's a thing too.
Marching for the right to citizenship in a country you weren’t born in is a funny 2022 development. I’m Canadian working and living in the US on TN, but I don’t think I’d be taken very seriously if I walked around holding a sign about how I’m discriminated against as an immigrant to have only residency and not citizenship.

In specific cases it can, and is, what happens. But in general case it cannot - for the reason '4bpp already phrased well upthread:

> One of the two therefore has to go for society to function: either you don't get to make the call if you are hurt, or it's a priori morally neutral to hurt you.

Or, put another way: you can't both 1) be able to unilaterally declare you're being hurt, and 2) expect any moral or practical response from others to you being hurt. It's either one or the other - because allowing someone to have both means giving them power to easily control and hurt others without consequence.
Specifically, labor shortages lead to higher salaries for those groups who no longer have to compete with the type of immigrants that used to come, and only if the demand is limited.

But for most other groups, it may lead to a reduction in real salaries, due to price inflation. Fewer carpenters makes housing more expensive, and fewer tech workers can make many businesses (especially those outside core tech that still depend on such workers) more expensive to run.

And for workers in global hubs, one could argue that the concentration in one geographic location (including immigration) has actually lead to higher demand due to the increase in vibrancy and rate of innovation, leading to an increase in salaries.
Based on my conversations with retirement or near retirement age individuals I know in the US…

Many decided to retire due to:

- fear from covid

- COVID restrictions

- office racism & political ideologues (aka blocked promotions, struggle sessions, etc)

- rejection of vaccine mandates

All the above I’ve seen multiple people (in each bucket) retire for in the past two years. I also know multiple young people who switched roles for the same reason.

One buddy of mine worked in an out patient surgery center on contract (he’d work / sell machines for a fee per-surgery). After a 12-18 months of sparse work he had to switch jobs (and was living on food stamps at this point). I hired him for odd jobs to help him pay the mortgage. He started his own business and is doing okay now ~12 months in.

history is present, certainly, but that's all I see. History.

got anything recent? no one ever cites anything recent. meanwhile, Google and Meta are doing nefarious stuff today and no one cares... behavior only mattered in the 1990s, I guess?

one might say that the logic here is twisty turny, but in truth people just don't like Microsoft, and they won't admit that they have a very strong bias against Microsoft. I would not even comment on this of people just admitted their bias. but all I see are references to things which are approaching 30 years old.

it's apparently supremely bad when MS does something in the 1990s but things that go on today are fine. Unless it's Microsoft...

Everyone has their eyes focused on Microsoft waiting for something that may never come, but absolutely sure it will come, while they are ignoring everything around them.

I agree. For most people here, it is their own government (or allied governments) which are the ones to be most cautious about. They're the ones most likely to ruin your life if they don't agree with what you're up to - elected or not.

Sure every immigration system as to make choices, but ideally you want to make intelligent choices.

The current system makes no sense unless your goal is to specifically limit Indian / Chinese born from people getting green cards while also letting in large numbers of them to work on H1B indefinitely.

Automation (particularly of agriculture) should be the focus of national strategy.

God forbid we return to the 20th-century solution of throwing more bodies at the problem (uncontrolled mass immigration), which will only exacerbate the underlying issue as immigrants settle and age.

The reality is that the first waves of immigration from the EU (skilled workers from developed nations) were hugely beneficial for the UK economy. But as the EU expanded into destitute former Soviet states, later waves of immigration were not the same demographic, from an economic point of view.

At some point we have to weigh up the benefits of cheaper fruit and veg, nannies and cleaners versus the cost of providing subsidised housing and wildly expensive public services to immigrant workers on the min wage, who are a net burden on the Treasury. It just doesn't stack up, from the perspective of productive taxpayers.

Housing and public services currently have a crisis of demand, not supply. The Tories increased the NHS budget by £40bn in real terms since 2010, but it's still unable to cope with the weight of demand.

Just take supermarkets as an example. In Germany, 3/4 of the market has been taken by the four largest chains [1], which poses an immense competition problem for vendors like farms, or for small corner stores which have vanished in large parts of the country because they can't compete with the big-box store 20km away.

I registered several Twitter accounts over the years and each time I was prompted to provide a phone number so they could verify the account (they typically send out a verification code via SMS to confirm).

But a year ago I setup an account and I still haven't been prompted to provide a phone number. This is some weird anomaly in Twitter's systems, and I'd love to know if there's some set of behaviors or steps I took to not get that prompt.

I have a phone number on standby in-case they ask for one, but I'm kind of enjoying not having to provide one since phone numbers are linked to meat-space identities and I enjoy my new found 'anonymity', although Twitter probably has other ways besides phone numbers to learn who you really are, so it's more a pseudonymous account.

It isn't. You are saying it "should"...wages in the UK are rising 4% slower than inflation, so there is real erosion of wages WHILST there is the biggest labour shortage in the history of the UK.

Just speaking generally, labour tends to be a market in which there is massive govt intervention (this is particularly the case in the UK). The normal rules of economics do not hold.

One very big factor in the UK is universal credit. You can Google this for yourself but the relevance here is that it acts as a wage subsidy for employers, this gets people into work but there is very little incentive to work more hours (despite the govt being able to remove universal credit from people who refuse to work more).

The UK has got read of the persistently high unemployment under left-wing govts of the 2000s but has failed to improve productivity. We employ more people but they are barely producing more on aggregate. Immigration, more women working (universal credit generally supports more women more), it is all coalescing, nothing is working properly.
Black checks the AST, not the byte code.
The popular Rust tool "ripgrep" uses a lock file for development (you can see it in the GitHub repo), and yet is in the official repositories for homebrew, various Windows package managers, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, some versions of openSUSE, Guix, recent versions of Debian (and therefore Ubuntu), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Haiku.

With all due respect, I don't think you're correct.
Agreed. I don't view my house as an investment, but as a place to live. Yeah, it has value, but if I were to sell it, where would I sleep? Where would I put all my stuff? If its value were to plummet to zero, that would suck, but I would only be out 1 year's equivalent salary (I don't live in a high COL area), not 10.
Regulating Crypto: How we move forward as an industry from here
Alright, let's talk in this way.

You mean a sink of human capital that would in the process destroy the social fabric of the neighboring countries by robbing it of their best, while at the same time give no reason for a country's most profitable companies to feel inclined to raise how much they are willing to pay for labor?

Or you meant a way to ignore that a country does have a way to make young workers and expand towards attracting outside young workers, while ignoring the reasons the local sources of young workers fail?

"socio-political degeneration absorbs and neutralizes a decaying trend of techno-economic advance"?

wow, what a great idea.
Rising wages cause massive panic about inflation. That causes rate rises in order to reduce demand. Also, wage rises can't be as easily negotiated in the public sector, which is why so many parts of the UK are on strike around now.
I doubt it, as I n++ your n=1 by experience, but also since I think it shouldn't be hard, electronics wise, to stop charging once full (or even, optionally, 80% / 90%) and fully run on AC as long as it's available. Also I'd say this is an apparent user requirement for laptops.
Perhaps not whitespace, but I think people insisting on using blacklist or master-slave terminology in computing will actually see direct consequences. Plenty of big tech companies have made their engineers scrub such words from their internal codebase, even going so far as to rename the master branch of Git to main.

I am pretty sure that an employee insisting not to abide by this mandate would be reprimanded and even fired if they don't stop.
First off, the retirement age is ludicrous anyway. I believe it is now 67 for men in the UK. The average years of good health in this country is 63, but in some parts of the country is as low as 55 [1]. Who wants to essentially work until they get sick then keel over and die? People are wising up to the fact it’s absolutely ridiculous and getting out and enjoying life while they still can rather than putting more money in the pocket of some shareholders. There is no community solidarity when your supposed leaders have been raking in over 20%+ pay rises for years whilst worker pay has declined in real terms, especially when inflation is now what it is. It’s an absolute disgrace what they are trying to fob off nurses and other public workers with atm. Not to mention the fact that working conditions are dire because some MBA has decided all quality of life metrics are irrelevant and all that matters is the bottom line.

Good on the people who are dropping out. Make the exploiters squirm.

Basically all developed countries already have birth rates below the replacement rate. In the US each women on average gives birth to 1.64 children, in Germany there it's 1.5 per women, in Japan 1.33 and in Korea 0.84. To keep population constant without immigration, the average women would have to give birth to slightly above 2 children.

The only reason population numbers aren't collapsing is immigration, but that comes with its own issues. Extending live expectency and productive lifetime isn't that crazy (if we can get a handle on our rising living standards and resource consumption).

You probably know this but a reminder: it was a double whammy of scale (network effect): SGI was selling to roughly three markets (video production, high end CAD, and midrange number crunching). NT was selling to anybody, and despite its multi-architecture support, Intel was selling to the same people. This threw off cash both of them could invest in improving their offering.

There is a good argument, though I don't know how good, for Apple to do an SGI with the Mac Pro. Its main value would be a "halo" effect: make the argument that Apple is so technically great that the people with the hardest problems turn to them, so you can too. Also Apple helps bring you the stuff you like, movies and music and such. That was an important argument back when Apple was lagging. If this argument still makes sense it might even worth doing so at cost or even a small loss paid for by the marketing department. But the green eyeshade side of Apple's planning hates that kind of excuse for good reason.

The Mac Pro has some minor benefits in being a practical way to push the design envelope in ways that will later trickle down, though as this article points out it requires investment in areas not otherwise critical, or even important to the company.
Wallabag is more of an "article saving" app than a bookmarker. Via the web browser plugin it extracts the text and images from a website if it detects an "article" and stores that on your instance. You can annotate, catalogue etc. the articles at will then.

Looking at their past 10-k, cost of revenue is ~$1.8B which includes infra costs. As these are self hosted, infra costs are largely going to be fixed; with a smaller component scaling with usage (things like electricity and maintenance).

Usage going up, and taking a 50% haircut on revenue would make quite the dent in cash flows.
Cheaper hardware, cheaper software, and PC vendors didn't try to force you into ludicrously expensive support contracts. All in all just way more customer friendly than the workstation companies.

And of course the huge number of people buying x86 hardware meant PC hardware manufacturers could afford big R&D budgets that allowed them to surpass the workstation CPUs and GPUs in performance.
