Yes it is. Microfocus own it now.

Microfocus also owned SUSE and I was amazed, when I joined SUSE in 2017, to find that there was zero integration between openSUSE/SLE and NDS.

As an old Netware sysadmin in the '80s and '90s, I expected to install my new machine, give it my NDS credentials and have it automatically installed and populated and configured, just as I had NT 4 workstations doing with Zenworks, 20 years before.

But no. SUSE did things the Linux way and the main visible effects of being owned by Novell were some WLAN names and so on, corporate Groupwise email, and that was all.

> Their ground will also start to disappear as sea levels rise.

Sea level rise is an irrelevance as far as costs of climate change are concerned. Particularly to Norway.

Gets talked about because it's easy to explain to children, not because our great grand kids will be underwater due to the third of a meter rise in sea level.

The rich countries have all sorts of ways of mitigating effects of climate change, the big losers will be India, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc. Which will also contain half the world's population by 2100.
Side note - For those that just have a hard time scrolling endlessly for the next sentence (e.g., handicap), in Firefox toggle the "Reader View" (F9) to remove all the spacing, and present the page in a readable format. I believe Chrome has a "Reader Mode" add-in. I do not know how to do it in Edge.
There's a reason I've always removed nano on every system I administer, and have done so for decades: when I first learned of nano, I also learned that it can corrupt configuration files where line breaks are significant by hard-wrapping long lines, unless you're very careful to always use "nano -w" instead of just "nano". I believe that this default has changed in a recent version of nano, and even before that some Linux distributions shipped with it set to not hard-wrap by default on a global configuration file, but it's still an unnecessary risk (unless you're really sure that the nano version is recent enough to have the new default, and that you'll never ssh to a machine running an older version of nano).

It’s certainly an issue, but in a complex system, you’ll never be able to pinpoint a single cause with a full evidence chain. It will never be possible to link a specific weather incident to climate change, like you could never directly link a single lung cancer case directly to smoking.

But what had pretty certainly been established is that climate change increases weather extremes.

This might be correlation, but there’s a plausible mechanism how increasing temperatures increases extreme rainfall: a warmer atmosphere holds more water. And for all the other examples, they also explain what’s the pathway from climate change to effect - warmer winters make more larvae survive, overwhelming the trees,…

If that kind of reporting helps climate deniers, no reporting is possible and all is lost.

This has to be either the world's dumbest foreman or at least largely fiction. And this consultant would have had to have been the first guy who walked into the shop besides the foreman and the welders who either also had never worked in a functioning production environment or had already told the foreman to hire a material handler and been ignored. Or they really liked the overtime and dragging pallet jacks around.

I've seen some pretty terrible inventory management and poor process flow, but this is a whole other level.

The carbon footprint of a person in "the west" is far far larger than that of a person in China, India, etc. If reducing emissions helps the environment, then it is pretty obvious to anyone with a half developed brain that not having children (in the west) is a great way to reduce emissions.

Other reasons people don't have children:

- Socioeconomic disparities make it difficult to raise a family due to cost of living

- Uncertainty over the future with massive droughts (we have observed them), and ever increasing food scarcity imply that down the road, future generations will have a lot of issues to deal with, so why bring more people to needlessly suffer?

All in all, parent commenter assumes that young people are stupid, and fails to see that young people are generally concerned about their behaviour and the consequences. Commenter also fails to see that young people don't want to bring more humans to this planet because they don't want more people to suffer.

Bringing children to life is generally a very selfish act with dire consequences to anyone involved.
I recently read Lord Jim (1900) by Joseph Conrad and really enjoyed it. There is a dense playfulness with words in a way that doesn't exist in my diet of Internet reading. The plot is unfurled from questionable narrators, deft time shifts, and overall is compelling and peppered with ethical dilemmas.

#2 I'd possibly amend to using an alternative editing framework instead of editor. Scintilla comes to mind for example, but there are probably lots of these.

An editor-framework community would possibly also be much more interesting for the type of conversation you are capable of starting.

Good luck.
They're not enforced by technical means, usually, but Apple HIG are fairly highly regarded by developers and users alike.

I only do UI programming in wxWidgets so I can't speak for other developer workflows. When I create a menu system, if I don't include accelerators manually, the system-appropriate ones are automatically added for certain things. Additionally, wxWidgets automatically moves Windows/Linux "standard" menu items to macOS-specific locations (e.g., Quit and About menu items), if and only if they're in the pertinent menus at the time they're added to the menu bar. If I add the File menu to the menu bar, and then add "E&xit" to the file menu, it still shows in the File menu.

So, in my experience, it's a strong default, but it isn't constraining; you can easily override that behavior when necessary.
> I'm worried that this kind of reporting only helps climate-change deniers.

There is one thing consistent on the entire spectrum of climate-change deniers, from ignorant to sociopathic to self-interested: They're not working with reality.

So, catering reporting to their various bubbles of ignorance is a fool's mission.
Filming CRTs is a headache[1], but if it's simulated they did a pretty convincing job of matching the curve of the screen, reflections (especially in the first photo) and whatnot.

Amigas used to drive a lot of the background displays on film/TV sets in the 80s and 90s, so I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix actually dug up an Amiga monitor that supported external sync with the cameras and plugged whatever was generating the simulated Workbench into it.

[1] I tried filming the screen of my Amiga 500 with a VHS camcorder back in high school, and they were just slightly out of sync, so a black bar would slowly creep down the screen over and over on video. I assume it was the Amiga monitor running at exactly 60fps versus the camcorder at ~29.97fps.
Right, that's my point. These disparate factions disagree on almost everything. You're claim is that the sole exception is that they unanimously agreed with the creation of a fake founding figure, and everyone was willing to keep it completely hidden. No only is there zero evidence for this, it runs directly counter to all of the evidence we have (and further, counter to how we see religions develop in general).
I guess the problem with that line of thought is that we don't have a control planet to compare results with. We know climate change is real, and we know that these changes are real, but we don't know if they're related because we can't get away from climate change. Maybe the answer isn't to dismiss these findings, but to stop climate change so we can know for sure.

> why can't we all agree on how we edit text?

Because there are some extremely different ways of editing text out there. As you mention, vim and emacs are extremely different from Word, though extremely popular. There are certainly many more examples, but I believe those 3 are enough to say that we most definitely have not all agreed on how to edit text.
Police, prosecutors used junk science to decide 911 callers were liars
Humans aren't great as being logical. A scientist giving an expertly sourced claim with plenty of disclaimers is going to have their idea given less importance than a charismatic speaker using conviction and force but having no evidence and being entirely wrong. Humans like confidence more than facts.

I'm not sure what the fix is, because a scientist is generally speaking with the level of confidence that matches their knowledge and understanding. Do we ask them to be more confident even if it goes past what their knowledge and understanding can justify?

And thanks to the Gell-Mann Effect, even if you invest time and resources into convincing the population the expert is right in one case, they still default back to believe the confident and charismatic speaker who doesn't know what they are talking about (or even worse, is being purposefully misleading).
This year I got into a history binge after I finally got around to reading Caro's Master of the Senate this January. It was so good I'm already ready to read it again.

I used to be scared of tackling big books because I don't feel strongly committed. But with these I did audiobooks for the first time, while cleaning and driving and cooking and it has made reading big books merely a matter of time.

Other than Caro's books this year, I really liked the three-volume Churchill biography by William Manchester. And the first two volumes of the Teddy Roosevelt biography by Edmund Morris.
Year on TikTok: 2022, truly ForYou
Early last year I read The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I found it deeply affecting. The quality of the writing is incredible and I enjoyed the structure which alternates progressing the main story and vignettes of life around the main characters. But mostly I was shocked to realize how little has changed in ~90 years in terms of worker exploitation and the ability to fall through the cracks in the USA.
From your description and comparing to the article Tornadoes and Wildcards seem to be totally different things to me. You describe the stereotype of the "Hero Programmer".

Correct. The idea is to have a role that sits right between data engineering and data analysis, ideally with a breadth that overlaps both.
For reference the computer interface is called LCARS:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCARS

LCARS has always seemed so beautiful and simple, but in practice you can't get real UI complexity into a button layout like that. On the shows the buttons mostly display random numbers (which of course made it easier to produce and reuse the panels).

Yeah sorry, I really did not mean to sound aggressive, just trying to share my point. Communication is hard :-).
It is unfortunate that the UI is not even attempting to be platform native, though.
Honestly, in the medium term (e.g. 2100) climate change will be a net positive for Norway. Less cold deaths, more outdoors, more farming.

The same is true of places like Canada.

The problem is, most people actually live in places like India, Pakistan and Nigeria. And unlike Norway these places aren't going to get more habitable, nor do they have the slack to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.

> But in between there's the work. It's only about a quarter century's worth. It's definitely not always fun. It's sometimes memorable, and often heartwarming in a way that intensifies with memory and retelling. Ultimately it's just the stuff that needs doing when we create new humans. Best of luck with it!

The huge mistake everybody in dweb is making right now is that it's not about the protocol, it's about the interface. Nobody cares about HTTP, it's a badly designed CRUD protocol that has spelling errors in the spec, it doesn't matter. it's the interface (AKA the web browser) that makes the the web have it's magic. All of the dweb attempts that have focused on protocols instead of interfaces have been far less successful at actual user adoption than the Beaker project was, and I hope nobody is taking the wrong lessons from this archival. The idea was fundamentally correct.

The group or person that internalizes this and finds the funding, timing and momentum through an interface is going to succeed. Until then, I expect the trend of random protocols and crypto-currencies variously named Donkey Coin claiming to be "Web 3.0" for publicity to continue.

In my opinion, Beaker remains the closest, and in many ways first attempt to build an actual, working distributed web that we actually have tried so far and if the history book overlooks it to focus on protocols and where the piles of money ended up, don't read that book.
First reactor vessel for Hinkley Point C completed
Is there a version of this that is readable that isn't a propaganda spectacle? Look at the narrative form and who it is trying to persuade. I thought climate change wasn't so much about meteorology as it was a general descriptor for a manufactured political climate, where one is either for the solutions or not, and therefore one can attribite literally anything to it. It is just a critical theory for dissolving reason and aligning people behind demagogues. Unemployment? Climate change. Social unrest? Climate change. Fertility rates? Climate change. Heart attacks? Climate change. It's intellectual chaff that only serves to center its ideologues. So long as you keep the reactionaries arguing about the weather they aren't going to offer meaningful resistance to the solutions being imposed on their countries and the co-ordinated demolition of national sovereignty to post-national governing bodies. It's a standard distraction theft.

I'm a bigger environmental advocate than any of these climate people, because I advocate boundaries on cities, anti-sprawl, changing building codes to incorporate passive energy methods and legalizing off grid and passive energy homes, national tarrifs on goods made in slave labour conditions, building refineries in the countries where resources are extracted, reducing unmanaged migrations from south to north to car dependent economies where people need heat 8mos of the year, dissolving the supply management of domestic agricultural goods and replacing them with high tarrifs on agricultural imports, among other things, because the job of a government is to sustain the national interests of the people it serves.

There are concrete economic and technology solutions to environmental harm. There are no solutions to "climate change" because it is about as intellectually rigorous as a yogic mantra. The only thing missing from that presentation was perhaps a Sarah MacLachlan soundtrack about how sad it was. Outside the bubble, this stuff is still very controversial. Propaganda is very persuasive, a lot of it is really inspiring and funny, and it's as soaring as a pop song, but just recognize when you are being played.
Western society has made a huge push for more women in specific industries. The impetus being discrimination against women has resulted in them being under represented.

The only way the above is logical is if there are no inherent differences between men and women. Otherwise, we have no way of determining how much disparity is from inherent factors and how much is from environmental. Put another way: if you believe female (or any race) under representation is caused by discrimination you should be able to define the correct level of representation if there was no discrimination (I have yet to see this number defined in any instance, which is concerning because there’s no way to measure impact or progress).

Given that we’re broadly implementing much policies is strong evidence that many believe there are no inherent differences.

Back when I learned computing, I had an old Apple ][+ with a Z80 card. There were only a few choices to program it. Apple and Z80 BASIC, Apple Logo, 6502 assembly (I did not have access to a Z80 assembler) and UCSD Pascal.

Pascal was awesome. So much better than the others. It really launched my interest in coding once it clicked.

I remember discovering that the early Apple game Wizardry was written in it one day when I was hacking around with it.

Norway is both a very eco-conscious country, and one of the world's largest oil producers...

The two don't cancel out - the CO2 produced from all that oil brought out of the North Sea is far more than the CO2 saved by having eco friendly well insulated homes, electric cars, and hydro dams.

They don't need to sell their bonds in US Dollars. Just buying less is enough to play havoc with the American economy, given the gargantuan trade deficit it runs every year.
Hominids traveling deserts may need to quickly climb when rain starts falling. If you're not prepared, you can get swept away and even drown by flash floods in the dryest places on earth.

The "more people drown in deserts than die of thirst" factoid is not entirely made up; flash floods are incredibly deadly, especially so in areas where it doesn't rain much. Modern humans are quite good at surviving such events but I can definitely see (early) mammals struggle to survive them.

That's an oddly specific question given sea levels have "only" risen 15-25cm since 1900 and most piers are more than 25cm above previous sea levels (and less than 120 years old). You will soon get your wish soon though, we're raising sea levels by 3.7mm PER YEAR. And that rate is only going up.

>Between 1901 and 2018, the globally averaged sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), or 1–2 mm per year on average.[1] This rate is accelerating, with sea levels now rising by 3.7 mm per year.
